Our Christmas here is somewhat traditional. We have a tree and stockings, and I do the elf on the shelf with my kids, but Christmas Eve and morning aren’t quite the same, neither is just driving around town. I suppose I could make more of a go of it, but I tend to keep busy with work. Christmas in Japan is more of a romantic/couples holiday than a family one. My wife even said recently that this might be the last year we get together with her family and have a Christmas party. Since we’ll do it all again on New Year’s, it’s a little hard to celebrate both, apparently.
