All the stores are playing Christmas music. It is really bizarre to walk into a convenience store and hear Dolly Parton or someone belting out the Christmas classics. Remember, Japan is a non-Christian country. It seems way too early for x-mas tunes despite it being only 20 days away. Today was the first day it got under 10 degress (about 50F). Doesn't feel holiday like at all. I'm even thinking of working the 25th.
