Xmas is a bit different to home, but nice different.
The Indonesians decorate everything and have some very wierd looking tree's and Santas, but wonderful.
The only celebration/ceremony is Dec 26th - It a shared holiday be govn decree. (Only govn buildings closed)
We have paid upfront for accom while there and have had no problems.
As previously mentioned be aware that some hotel charge for a compulsory dinner on xmas and again for NY eve.
Enjoy your holiday.
