As cliché as it may sound, Christmas is indeed my favorite holiday season of the year, where it is the time to rejoice, spend time with your loved ones and show appreciation to your family and friends by giving.
This year, spending Christmas in Osaka has certainly exceeded my expectations. I hadn't expected Osaka to be big about Christmas, in fact I was all cool about just having a simple casual dinner with my other half and enjoying each other's company in a foreign land. Little did I know that there is actually a committee set up to plan and put together a structured program which includes a series of events and illumination displays that were lit across the city center of Osaka! Trust the Japanese to be so thoughtful and organised. For more information, you may look it up here.
There was little research to be done with all the information readily available at the website. We were on a mission to see all the lights illumination at "Festival of the light in Osaka 2013". Let the merry making begin!
The Christmas carols playing, bright lights shining, with streets all beautifully decorated with ornaments and trees, have really lifted the Christmas spirits.

Christmas stalls selling hot wine, sausages, turkey legs and the likes near the vicinity of Osaka City Hall. So reminiscent of the Europe Christmas markets I have been to during my school exchange days!
Super pretty 3D lights display on the facade of Osaka Central Public Hall

Merry Christmas all, xoxo
