Dreaming of a GREEN X'mas
Who ever dreamt of a white Christmas? I think the song should be Dreaming of a GREEN Christmas...

Has there ever been anything officially published regarding the consumption of Santa suits? If there is, I am 100% convinced that Japan is the country with the highest per-capita rate of Santa Suit ownership in the world. So far, I have seen more than a hundred in the past week or so. Everyone from part-timers at convenience stores, gas pumps, and game centers wear these silly costumes. I've even seen pizza delivery mophed riders wearing these... Tomorrow is my day off, and I am determined to photograph each santa suit that I see. Furthermore, I am thinking of stimulating the economy and becoming a complete hypocrite by purchasing one myself. I have seen some animal print Santa Suits that are quite fashionable this year.
Most people here have no idea what X'mas, much less Christmas, is really about. To the Japanese it is just an excuse to go on a date and enjoy consumption of useless things -- such as millions of Santa Suits, Christmas cakes, etc... The service business is also thriving with love hotels being humped to capacity and restaurants being over-booked. ¶ sábado, diciembre 02, 2006
