Talk about jumping the gun. I’m not sure about what sort of schedule there is in other Christmas-celebrating countries, but in the States people put up their decorations after Thanksgiving (since it just happens to be approx. 1-month before Christmas).

Well Japan doesn’t celebrate American Thanksgiving (yet) so it’s a clear straight shot to Christmas once the newly imported Halloween event is over.

Well, Nov. 24th this year looks to be Labor Day in Japan. Seems like the perfect vacation day to do some Christmas decoration labor!

I like the Christmas origami classes-a contemporary combination of tradition and modern:-)
