“Christmas in Japan”

The list could go on. It doesn’t have to occur in Japan but it must be an observation of the celebration of Christmas that is related to Japan.

I like this theme. I’ve been here for nearly three Christmas seasons now and have noticed it grow and grow. I plan on taking the camera out to Tokyo this weekend (as long as it isn’t freezing like it is today) and so now I have a theme to shoot for.
By the way, I noticed the deadline says, “Midnight Tuesday 22nd November.” Just a heads up.
Awesome stuff Fidel. Looking forward to seeing the results of your photowalk. Thanks for pinging me on the deadline, I have updated it now.
Merry Christmas from Ni-Chome!

Very cool! Thanks for the sub. Interesting lyrics to the song.

But never, ever in my Rump Pa Pum Pum
It’s so much safer to come in a con – dom
Or let’s just masturbate
For it can be fun
You can still cum

I loved seeing Christmas lights in Tokyo last year, and this year they look even better.

For my submission, I wrote about the differences between Japan and Belgium around Christmas time.

Sad because no cheap flights to Tokyo this December. Was hoping to have something new. Instead I will post the one place that really felt seasonal last year.
It’s a video of some of the lights and sounds at Venus Fort in Odaiba.

I’ve still got a couple of hours, right?
In that case I’m going to jump in after Chris yelling ‘me too, me too.’
