Hello world, where I'm from in England, this is how you get ready for Christmas.

Hello world, where I'm from in Japan, this is how preparing for Christmas is like.

You know Christmas is coming when you see Christmas decorations in shops.

Not just shops decorate, shopping centres decorate too,

In the outside, sometimes when it's close to Christmas,

In the little town near us, they have lights too,

These lights on Regent St are my favourite

and there are some people that come to Ginza just to look at the lights.

So what are all these people lining up for?

The first big job to do is to buy some nice Christmas presents

but it'll get busier when it gets closer to Christmas.

to buy some nice bath things for our friends

At Christmas lots of shops have some limited edition things,

like this blue penguin or this dinosaur wearing a Christmas hat,

And if you're lazy, you could buy some a present already wrapped up for your friend or family

They come in all different shapes and sizes

In Japan, people don't get presents from under the tree

Or maybe some people do give under the tree

The next big job is to choose your Christmas tree

There are two different types of Christmas tree

and you can decorate them however you like

This garden centre has lots of artificial trees to choose from

They cost more than real trees but you can use them every year

Once you have chosen your Christmas tree you have to take it to the staff so they can wrap it for you

So this is a shop to buy a Christmas tree

but some people don't have their Christmas trees

This is my daddy carrying my Christmas tree back home

We don't have a car so i have to take it on my bike

One of the best things about getting ready for Christmas

This ice rink is only around at Christmas time

and they put it on a big field so children can come and play

it's fun whether you're an expert or a beginner - like me

This ice rink is in the middle of a fun fair and you could even buy Christmassy food

Did you know in England father Christmas' favourite food is mince pies

and ask him if we've been good and for a present

If we have been good we can choose an early Christmas present too

But this is at Skytree and it's very expensive and I didn't want to take the kids

This is a market to buy lots of Christmas stuff

Actually, this one is a German market so it's mostly German food

and they also had a Christmas concert that had santa in it

In Tokyo, you can see some light festivals for free

What do you think about this light festival?

where we're staying we have a special Christmas dinner.

Brussel Sprouts are little cabbage thing about this size.

My vegetables, they're actually puddings?
