Not because I dislike Christmas, though I'm not a huge fan of the holiday, but because of crap like this. I know it's not a new complaint, and it's vaguely hip to knock the consumerism side of the holiday. Maybe it's because in Japan, there's always another gift giving opportunity around the corner, but most of these events aren't quite as heavily pushed. The one downside to Christmas in Japan? "Last Christmas" by Wham. That song is everywhere. In many different versions. It's a gawd awful song, and it's made worse by having it sung by a bunch of kids. Kids singing in a school play are cute. On the radio? Not so much. I much prefer Run-DMC's Christmas song, which I did, in fact, hear in the local Target like store.iotaguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796168631186186975noreply@blogger.com
