Turn up the color! Which country celebrates Christmas with a giant lantern festival?

Around 86% of the Filipino population identifies as Roman Catholic, so they're one of the only Asian countries to celebrate Christmas largely in the Christian tradition. However, they do feature one custom that's uniquely Filipino: The Giant Lantern Festival. San Fernando holds a competition amongst villages to build the best lanterns, which have grown from origami-sized paper to twenty feet in diameter. That's one kaleidoscopic way to celebrate Christmas!
