    It's ineresting how a closed and homegonous society such as the Japanese embraced this totaly foreign holiday as if it was rooted in it .

    Nothing says peace on earth and goodwill toward humankind like a big, fat, expensive piece of jewelry. Peace and love don't last, but diamonds are forever.

    Japanese always get Christmas technically right but miss the point completely. Its just another cold winter day for romulus. I even hate it when they give me gifts. Its just a cliche. Romulus knows to get back to Italy to enjoy a real Christmas despite the cost of air travel.

    I wonder how many people will actually appreciate the beauty of the tree in these troubled times.
