OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea --  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and nothing quite announces the coming of the holiday season like festive decorations.

From topping the Christmas tree to hanging vibrant lights around the house, these simple traditions make people feel more at home.

For members at Osan Air Base who might not have these items, the Holiday Shop and Flower Market in Seoul at the Express Bus Terminal offers a more varied selection of holiday favorites. The trip to the market takes about an hour and a half and is easy to navigate.

From the main gate, either take a taxi or walk to the Songtan Bus Station. From there, buy a ticket to the Nambu Bus Terminal, which is about an hour away. After arriving at the terminal, walk out the front door to the subway station and get on the number three train for two stops to the Express Bus Terminal. Walk up the stairs and to the right find the Flower Market and the hub for holiday decorations.

The one-stop shop features everything needed to bring some holiday cheer, to include affordable Christmas Trees in different sizes, wreaths, ribbons, snowmen, candles, bells, ornaments, lights and more.
