Blue Christmas

It's Christmastime and I am staying in Tokyo. It's my first Christmas in Japan and my first away from family. I turned an electric light into a Christmas tree and made some decorations for it.
It's not much, but I need something to get into the Christmas spirit. My friends and co-workers are having Christmas dinner on the day of, so at least I will have somewhere to go.
Christmas in Japan is quite different than it is in America. It is more like a romantic holiday than anything, kind of like Valentine's Day. And they sell special Christmas cakes everywhere. New Year is a much bigger holiday here.
But there are a lot of Christmas lights to look at. I went to see some this past weekend.




Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!
