It’s the Christmas season! Where I live, there aren’t many Christmas

decorations up, but here in Taipei There are a few! Not as many as Tokyo or America, so it’s a little lonely!

Many Japanese think that Christmas lights are called “illumination” in English, but that actually Wasei Eigo. We say “Christmas lights!”
