Somehow Christmas seems to have leaked over into the Japanese celebrations – this has got to be blatant commercialism. They seem to have taken a whole collection of bad bits and wrapped it up into their own festival.
Theres the screaming kids, the rush of people through the shops, the cheap tat, the irritating songs, the acapella festivals with pop-open christmas trees containing singing fish.
But at least there is flashing lights. As seems to be the way over the last couple of months, I bought a USB christmas tree. Thats gonna have to do for decorations this year. Sadly I didn’t get the driver disk so it just flashes in its preprogrammed sequence – not sure you can actually do much even with the drivers though.
