I like the reflections of the buildings on the other side of the street.
Why is Xmas celebrated in Japan?
Not that I don't believe that there should be celebrations, but again, I wonder why would a non Christian country celebrate a Christian holiday?

Is it  just a consumer hype?

Nice ones, Akira.

Christmas - decoration in Tilburg is rather dull....

Thanks, Jakov.  Yes, I would say it is more of a consumer hype, although there are some devotional christians here.  In these several years, Easter has been more and more celebrated here in Japan.  But the most people are taking it as a costume party.   

Nice ones, Akira.

John, thanks.  I would rather prefer these simpler ones...

Some people have weird decorations on their roof...

The color-coordinated reindeer look funny.

Beautiful image John. I love the framing!

Thanks Gary and Anirbar.

Akira:  Yes it's very funny   Well, the building in the background with it's  'weird' external balcony's has a kind of Christmas effect too.

Actually I like the Mondrian-esque building in the background.
