Midosuji Street is all lit up. Lights on trees remind me of Chistmas. And actually, in a few weeks, Christmas will be here again. Do you celebrate Christmas every year? If yes, how do you celebrate? What do you do?
I usually don't do anything special because I am not Christian. But just for fun, usually I go out to dinner, eat "Christmas cake," and sometimes I exchange a small present or two.
And while on the subject of lights, did you know that The 15th Kobe Luminarie, a big light event which is a symbol of the city's reconstruction after the Great Hanshin Earthquake, is being held in Kobe now? It runs until December 14, so if you haven't gone yet, you still have a chance to go this weekend. I have been to there once many years ago. I liked it, the lights were truly magnificent, but there were too many people. And because I don't like crowded places, I haven't been there since...But in the future, on a weekday evening, I would like to go again some day.
