Holiday season has become also in Vancouver. Though I'm not a Christian, I love Christmas like most people all over the world. I think that Christmas in Vancouver is much better than in Tokyo or in any other cities in Japan. It is literally holy and looks more mature in Vancouver while it is only noisy polluted by commercialism and drunken people in Japan. Fortunately I had no party tonight -- to tell the truth, I don't like a party -- and I drove around the city in the rain. Lots of houses were decorated with illuminations and they were blurred through the rain drops on the front glass. It was so beautiful that I took some pictures stopping at each conspicuous house. This picture is one of the most flamboyant illuminations tonight. I was impressed most by this house because plastic milk bottles painted in various colors were used as lanterns. Handmade illuminations looked as warm as the family in the house.
How gorgeous this illuminations are! They are so beautiful and you must have been touched your heaet very much by them.
Here in Tokyo, we couldn't see such gorgeous illuminations as you said though we could see some sellers who had been wearing Santa's costumes and selling christmas cakes.
I think that Christmas in Canada is much much better than in Japan, too.
