There's a lot to be said for spending Christmas in a country where there is a language barrier and (now that I think of it) a religious one as well, and spending it away from your family too.
I do not understand how, when people obviously do love and care for each other in some kind of way, they can cause each other to feel so much unhappiness.
So now the kids have grown up we have buggered off.
There is still commercial Christmas here in Japan but the only price to pay for that has been a week of Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in my head.
