Christmas holidays, weekend breaks, and tourist accomodation in Cornwall

Christmas holidays, weekend breaks, and tourist accomodation in Cornwall: "A Cornish Christmas is an event. Lights and decorations go up in all Cornish towns and villages and there is a tremendous atmosphere. Each town has it's seperate late night for shopping, and on that night the streets are packed. I went to Truro on my first year back in Cornwall and there was a throng of people in the city centre, all enjoying themselves as if the extended shopping hours were little more than an excuse for socialising. Cornwall is largely a rural community, and a Christmas visit to (say) Truro or Penzance can still hold a significance which has been lost in other areas. "
