Christmas Days
Just like expected, nothing happens on Christmas here in Japan. While Christmas paraphernalia sales boom, on the actual day(s) Christmas cannot be felt. The only feelable change is that apparently loads of restaurants were booked out, KFC being one of the most popular (don’t ask), because Christmas is a couples thing here.
Anyhow, after celebrating Tom’s and my birthday, the 22nd of December was a celebration of freedom from class for the coming 3 weeks. That evening, Tom hosted a burger party in his room and it ended up being packed with roughly 10 people. The day after that was supposed to be Kat, Tom and my day in with lots of cooking, eating and movies, but we all slept in too long and didn’t get shopping and other things out of the way until it got very late in the afternoon. I was a bit disappointed that it ended up in just cooking dinner together and watching a few movies with the others.
I spent the 24th of December, which is traditionally the most important day, well evening, in Germany, I spent with Kat waiting for it to pass.. slightly depressing. Then again the outlook of the following day kept me going. This shall be explained… in the following post!

Right THAT is what I said. They hype it up like its the best thing ever, then nothing happens, and the kids go to school. THAT NEEDS SORTING OUT.
