Being a country that doesn't celebrate Christmas, I didn't think Japan in December would impress me. Boy was I wrong. Japanese people go ga-ga over Christmas, especially over decorations and lights. Except, they use the word 'illuminations' for lights, which makes perfect sense, and sounds more Christmasy if you ask me. In Japan, Christmas is usually spent with your friends or your significant other. Unlike in America where we spent it with our families. I wasn't able to spend Christmas in Japan but I am hoping to in 2010.
Here's a little glipse of how beautiful it is in Japan, during the winter season. Did I mention it snows??
