Somehow I did not see much of Chistmas activities around my neighborhood this year yet. Maybe the crazy weather, maybe bad economy, or maybe jsut because more people are celebrating something else.
MY mom asked me, if I am getting a Christmas cake, what I am cooking on Christmas day. As my long time memory is far away with the stack of my other memories, I almost forget all the jazz about Christmas in Japan. The cake, the JR commercials(!), so happy that something good gonna happen because it is Christmas. Even someone you secretly admire just happens to like you, too. Well, good old time.
But now, not even in the mall or by some neighbors, I do not see lights and trees. Even in my house, of course there is no sign of Holiday season coming. Or even, as Ramadan has passed already, this is a dead cold winter season just waiting to be over or for the final clearance sale in mid January.
I need to get out of here, maybe. Somewhere warm...
I just cannot do Christmas any more. Like to see it, but just do not feel it.
