Peter Pfaff in Japan: Closer and closer to christmas time...

Each year it seems to come around faster. My first christmas season in Japan has been pretty great. People and stores here don't really "over-do" christmas decoration and sales, but there are still enough of them that you know what is going on, it's nice. A very welcome reprieve from the "black-friday" mentality.
At churches there have been alot of good events. I posted some pictures the other day and will link them here at the end of my post. A few christmas parties, some get-togethers, and lots of other fun happenings. The next few days will be pretty good/busy with various christmas parties and church services. I am certainly looking forward to them all.
