A Very Perry Christmas: Will Katy and Justin spend the holidays in Canada?

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry just popped up in Tokyo, the latest stop on their global romance romp that has thus far included Montreal (the location of their first public date), Paris (the site of their hard launch) and the coast of Santa Monica (where they had that nautical make-out session featuring Trudeau’s unusual denim cruise-wear).

This most recent rendezvous takes place as Perry’s Lifetimes tour is winding down. She’ll perform on December 6 in Tokyo and then finish off in Abu Dhabi on December 7, just in time for the holidays. This, of course, raises the question of holiday plans.

We’ve all been there: you’re in a highly promising yet still relatively new relationship and the holiday season kind of forces your hand. Are we sharing-turkey-dinner-level serious? Is this the right time to meet the extended family? Whose private chef should be in charge of the disgusting Jell-O salad that nobody actually likes? Given that both parties celebrate Christmas, it seems unlikely that the pair hasn’t at least broached the topic of holiday scheduling, particularly given their busy calendars, custody arrangements and international security concerns.

Could our former PM be trying to sell his American girl on the virtues of a cozy Canadian Christmas? The snow, the traditional tourtière, the famously respectful paparazzi that will give them some privacy yet still capture a sexy and not-at-all-staged snowball fight.

In fairness, Trudeau has spent the past several months working around Perry’s schedule—attending her concerts, appearing topless on her yacht. It only seems right that Perry would now want to spend some time in his world of Canadian Tire shopping runs, promoting his son’s rap career and whatever else a former PM gets up to when he’s not chasing his pop star girlfriend around the globe.

Whatever it is, it’s got to be better than last holiday season, when Canadians left the PM with a lump of coal.
