It is November in Tokyo and I have noticed
that there are Christmas decorations everywhere! I was very surprised to see
the tree outside Kichijoji station and hear the Christmas music playing on Sun
Road. In my hometown, people don’t start decorating until the beginning of
December because in America we have another holiday called Thanksgiving. Japan
doesn’t have this holiday, but I had not realized it meant Christmas would come
early here! I hope this means there will be a lot of sales and interesting
gifts in stores. I’m excited to see how else this holiday will surprise me
during my time in Japan.
