If you want to get really technical, it is currently Advent, yes? Christmas doesn't start until Christmas and goes through the Epiphany. I know, I know, that's just crazy religious talk. Secular America demands I buy a bunch of stuff made in China to give to everyone and then forget about it 1201 on December 25th.
Actually, that is not too far removed from what they do here in Japan. They get into the Christmas thing (At least the secular aspects) here in Okinawa and in Japan at large. Apparently one tradition is to get a big bucket of KFC. Not sure what the connection is, but good for the Colonel, I guess.
All that being said, I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and Happy New Years’!
