Last X’mas, This X’mas

I know it’s still early, but over here Christmas is in the air. Starbucks already put on the Christmas CD, a three story tall tree decked with presents is the first thing you see when walking into the mall, and at school, the Japanese teachers are already starting to teach the kids Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. @_@

Of course I won’t be left behind, so I took out (or should I say downloaded ^_^”) my Christmas album too, and on a cold Sunday morning in Japan, all of the sudden it feels very homey and festive in my tiny little apartment 🙂

Come to think of it, I wasn’t home last Christmas either. Spent the better part of my winter vacation in New York and Orlando, and was unequally impressed by both. I still remember wandering around Downtown Disney and humming “Last Christmas,” to which I only knew the first two lines of. When you are happy, you can’t even make sad songs sad. Anyway, just heard that song again, so thought I’d make a note.

Even though Christmas is still a while away, I’m making my list and checking it a few times 🙂 Once upon a time I bought presents for everybody and their dog. I really don’t know what I was thinking then.
