Christmas has arrived. Right where it should be. At the mall. In Japan, where less than one percent of the population are Christians.
You got a snowman, you need elves, right? But elves are not a familiar concept here, so the Disney dwarves will just have to do.
Gorgeous. Just looking at it makes me want to spend money. I mean, celebrate the holiday.
Loving the Christmas tree hat...
What you need for Christmas:
The Christmas train, of course!
And don't forget about the Christmas dolphins.
Or the Christmas elephants holding umbrellas. Sort of. I think...
And it just doesn't feel like Christmas without a Christmas bunny and friends!
And last, but not least, the spirit of Christmas, so completely exemplified in this department store advertisement, which is bound to raise stock in Revlon considerably...
Xmas: America's gift to the world.

WOW!! What beautiful pictures. I LOVE the lights.
It's so interesting to see what other countries do for the holidays. Keep sharing! :-)
That is so beautiful!
Being a Christian-- I find it sad that Christmas has become so commercial. There use to be a time where people gave more to charity during Christmas. Now it's all about the newest and latest... America is all about consumption and we have turned the world on to it as well.
Will you come home for Christmas? Enjoy your week!!!

Yeah, it was really gorgeous. Like being transported to Fairyland or something. The pictures don't even convey the sense of magic!
Adriann:
I totally agree. Even though I'm not a religious person, it annoys me that something so "sacred" and beautiful has turned into this marketing monster.
And I won't be coming home for Christmas:( I wish my mother could freeze-dry her cooking and airmail to me! That would be great!
Your pictures are gorgeous. I agree the holidays in the States have become way too commercialized. My parents moved back to the Caribbean and I have been there for the last three Christmases...it very low key, all about the family and good food.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Sounds like what the holidays should be!
