MJ: As an Aussie, Christmas for me is hot. Often very hot, as in 40 degrees Celsius is not unheard of. In the last 5 or so years, my extended family has been going to a small island off Perth, and spending Christmas there at the beach, and eating salads with our Christmas ham/turkey.So spending December in cold, cold Japan does not make me feel 'Christmas-y'. Despite spending the last few weeks getting ready for the Christmas Party with my children, I still don't feel like Christmas is coming.
Until last night. This year, Nico and I bought year passes to Universal Studios in Japan. Yesterday we went to USJ for its Christmas event.
USJ has really outdone itself. Each year it has a Christmas tree, but this year the Christmas tree has a Guinness World Record for its height and sparkliness (I'm paraphrasing).
And it is beautiful. And afterwards enjoying a nice glass of red wine has made me feel all ready for Christmas.

Is that a bloomin onion from outback steakhouse beside your glass of red?!
ReplyDeleteMaybe. It was called an 'Onion Bloom' but it was at USJ. They probably stole the idea. -MJ-
