Last Christmas I gave you my heart…Yeah. Same songs, same chaos, every single year.
This year is my third Christmas away from home and this time I’m spending it in Japan.
No family dinners, no days off, no big traditions. Christmas here is more about couples, fancy dates, KFC buckets and then… going to work on the 25th like it’s any other day.
In this episode I talk about what Christmas in Japan actually feels like.The weird parts, the pretty parts, Tokyo’s insane illuminations, Christmas markets, seasonal food, overpriced strawberries and why having no pressure, no expectations and no forced Christmas mood might not be such a bad thing after all.
Not festive.
Not sad.
Just different.
I ABSOLUTELY love it!!
