Might I add that the tree had a tail too!
With that being said Christmas decorations in Tokyo are so awesome! From the Cat tree at Namja Town in Ikebukuro to the beautiful jaw dropping illuminations in Odaiba, you can either feel the Christmas joy or want to say “bah humbug” to it all!
Cat Christmas Tree in Sunshine 60 at Namja Town in Ikebukuro
For me the decorations made me feel right at home in a far away place. Christmas was introduced to Japan with the arrival of the first Europeans in the 16th century. As it was introduced to Japan at first only a few celebrated Christmas but now Japan has taken in the holiday in their own way with Seasonal illuminations, fried chicken, and a midnight kiss!

Christmas day is no different than any other day in Japan with people going to work and all. It is Christmas eve that is very festive with lines super long for Kentucky Fried Chicken for their holiday dinner. And to the bakery to enjoy some Christmas cake. And it’s popular for couples to wish for a kiss before midnight, which is seen as a good luck sign for true love. Which ever way you celebrate Christmas at least once you should try it the Japanese way! Come on grab some fried chicken and wait for ya kiss! ;p

Wow cool post, great to get a slightly alternative view of christmas this time of year…
Well, I know as well as all those posters know that there was no multiple posting done. I doubt you are on my facebook or myspace because I have promoted on there as well.
You’re right, if I did hype myself up or had someone do it for me, that’s very narcissistic. Thank goodness I’m not.
yeah.. how in the world did they think of that :O
heyy steph, meri kurisumasu
grrrrrr BIG TREE…. O___O must have it… DX
ohhh i almost you were there. hahaaha just kidding.
i love ur songs… especially ur loveless cover.. XP
Wow the trees sound really cool and I’ll be sure to try some of Japan’s special Christmas traditions someday ;D
gahh, kitty ears!! That’s so cool o uo
I wanna celebrate christmas in japan someday : D
haha, merry christmas stephanie~ > u<
All the trees look so cool * A* You're so pretty, too!!
Hmmm. Can’t seem to find where your promoting it online other than a tweet and the cat picture on one site.
It’s easy to change your IP, they need to trace the host.
Anyways, oh well if you hype yourself up or someone does it for you by multiple posting. It’s just narcissistic.
…KFC is a very interesting holiday dinner xD lol~
I really love all the trees, it seems like it would’ve been fun to be there đ đ
omg, the tree is soo cute > A </// You're really cute too lol, the cat ears are awesomeee ^^

hi….send me gift…please..merry christmas,,…thanks a lot.
Michie just proved that some is multiple commenting just to make it look like Yanez has a lot of hits. How could you comment twice and the notice 1hr later.
If anyone knows about writing styles they can tell all these comments are similar styles.
Just to warn you, using DISQUS, the site owner can check where the comments are coming from and if they are the same person even if you use different names.
I'm not sure if it's Yanez or who it is but it's called cheating. Stop it.
What a cute Christmas tree! Love the giant bows! ^^ (And you posed very appropriately beside the “Cat Christmas Tree” haha)
To my supporters – thank you so much for all that you do.
To those that think it’s only a few people posting multiple times…nothing could be further from the truth. The fact of the matter is that I promote this blog as I do with any other online article I write or am featured in. You can even ask GaijinPot to trace the IP addresses and you’re sure to find all different ones.
Once again, thanks for everyone’s comments. I really appreciate them!
