I will be alone in Japan this year as well during christmas, but last year my “extra family” invited me to hang out with them on the iPad when they eat their christmas dinner. They even prepared a plate of food for me they put in front of the iPad. So I might “spend” christmas with them this year as well.

Last year I was alone in my apartment and ordered pizza. When the delivery guy came, he was wearing a full santa-suit, and he asked “Ah… Gaijin-san desu ka?” (Oh, hello Ms. Foreigner!). I said yes. Then he pulled up a can of coke from his pocket, and handed it over to me with both hands in a quite official way, while he proclaimed “MERRI KURISUMASU!”. Not the worst christmas.
