Since the Japanese don't celebrate Thanksgiving, after Halloween they dive right into the commercial fever of Christmas. This includes sales, decorations, the whole nine yards. I thought it was interesting because while Japan is a mainly non-religious culture, they certainly embrace the commercial religion of Santa Claus. These are some pictures of just a few of the many decorations I have seen...

Wow, those are pretty decorations! Do they have Santa up or is it just lights and trees? Glad you're having fun, you can send my present in the mail! Love you infinity times infinity!

Wow- look at all those lights! I'm with Mary- you must be in the spirit of things- so shall I send my list or did you already send my gift to surprise me? I heard they have lovely pearls in Japan and since that is what the name "Margaret" means, possibly that might be something for you to check out if you need ideas for me :-)
