There are few times when I feel
homesick as I have lived here in Japan. Sure, after 16 years a lot of
things are home here, but there is one time that I feel it most:
Christmas. It is a season for family back in America.
Even then Christmas has not been
popular until about 8 years ago when department stores and other
businesses started decorating and playing music. Then it has been
more noticeable. But it is the music I think.
Christmas music was always part of my
family as my parents played holiday music in our home. We sang it at
church and even went caroling around our town in the cold -30C of
winter. I guess when I hear that music again it reminds me of those
times and I am a little homesick.
I hope this holiday season all of our
students will have a great time with their families. Merry Christmas!
