Inflated Santa – Tokyo, Japan

Good to be home for the holidays with family. I hope you have a joyous and relaxing time.

You can imagine that Christmas is not a big holiday in Japan, though there were more decorations that I ever imagined. The oddest was this one, in a working class part of Tokyo, in front of a beauty salon. Not what you expect, walking though a traditional Japanese neighborhood. It made me smile.

Happy Holidays. Take lots of family snaps shots. Those, ultimately, are the most important photographs we all take.
