もうクリスマス？－－－－マーレン先生

 

　　It is November in Tokyo and I have noticed that there are Christmas decorations everywhere! I was very surprised to see the tree outside Kichijoji station and hear the Christmas music playing on Sun Road. In my hometown, people don’t start decorating until the beginning of December because in America we have another holiday called Thanksgiving. Japan doesn’t have this holiday, but I had not realized it meant Christmas would come early here! I hope this means there will be a lot of sales and interesting gifts in stores. I’m excited to see how else this holiday will surprise me during my time in Japan.
