Christmas Tree Market
You may ask, what is the point to sell Christmas trees after 24th of December? :)
Basically half of people living in Riga celebrate Christmas on 7th of January and then an Russian New Year on 14 of January.
Terefore, to make Christmas tree stay fresh until middle of January, you have to buy it just before 31 of December :)

How much costs christmas tree in Latvia?Just curiouse:)
a small one about 10 EUR.
The middle one about 15 EUR..
Where did you get that kind of information? I am Latvian and we always celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve and day, or Winter Solstice, which is beginning of winter.
People tend to leave there tree up until Jan.6, which is Day of the Stars or last day of Christmas season.
