I live in a country where people work full time on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, a country where Christmas is more like Valentine's Day and not Christmas.

Every year I stay in Japan for Christmas.

I get my annual crying episodes in and spend time with my friends mostly.

Last year I went home and asked my family what they thought about me being so far away.

And I'm not really sure they can handle it around such an emotional time, either.

It's hard, but this year is a little bit different.

As some of you may know, I met my Japanese Beyonce on instagram.

I met him for the first time and we got engaged.

Now we're living happily ever after in Tokyo, Japan, living our best lives.

We got an apartment, went furniture shopping and had fun, creative dates, all in a span of a couple months.

We worked hard to be together and we gave each other the world.

And do he has to get a real Japanese company job becoming the ultimate salaryman.

So now I'm alone again Christmas Eve with not much to do.

That's okay when everyone else and their brother is working on Christmas.

I sat down and wrote up my goals for the next year and what I wanted to accomplish.

My fiance and I scheduled a time to spend on the weekends and made that our Christmas celebration.

And we have a New Year's and Christmas celebration coming in the next weekend.

This part was broken because I don't want to stop my eyes.

We're old Well, before not telling me that if you ever go home.

In Japan, amongst hefty work schedules, there are plenty of Christmas markets that make it feel just a little bit more like actual Christmas.

This is so they have little shops and stuff.

We're here at the Christmas market right now, and it's raining.

We got a good seat, but it's raining outside, so we're like, we have an umbrella and we have our sausage and pretzel and everything.

Christmas alone is a chance to recharge and reflect.

I enjoy it, and I see it as a different experience.

Okay, so apparently, there's a natural goods store around here, but I kind of wanted to go check out.

So I'm gonna head a different way and go a different route.

I'm gonna go see what they have, because it would be nice to, um, see if there's any, like, organic foods or something like that.

I'm gonna head to the store and see what kind of Christmas stuff they have.

It's not that cold, but yeah, This is a little bit of the neighborhood old Japanese house from a long time ago.
