Christmas in Japan
The day after Halloween all the Christmas decorations come out. Suddenly you can see, Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, and general Christmas paraphernalia for sale just about everywhere. By December, many places are elaborately decorated and illuminated. Probably the most popular activity leading up to Christmas is going to different places to enjoy the Christmas light displays. The major stops are usually advertised and mapped out so it's easy to find the most impressive places. During December many people take detours on their way home from work to enjoy the spectacular displays. In recent years, many people have started to put up Christmas lights at home as well. Friendly neighborhood competition has led to some wonderful Christmas displays in even in very 'local' areas. For many Japanese people, the spirit of Christmas can best be described as the spirit of illumination.
