Merry Christmas!!
These first 6 pictures are from a class Christmas party. These kids are too young to join the other party and the moms always come and help.
The next set are from the supermarket. We went yesterday and wow!! The people and the chicken!!! Honestly, I have never seen so many fried, sauteed, glazed chickens. Apparently, Christmas dinner is eaten on the 24th because when we went today ...no more chicken!!
This cake is about $40!!
Of course, Japanese are also preparing for New Year's day which is what is really celebrated here. So, you can already buy food for that special day...some are very cute!!
Mickey mouse mochi!! (mochi are chewy rice cakes)
Nihonshu (sake) with gold shavings!
I'm off to open some Christmas presents now that my honey is awake!! Merry Christmas!!
I'm sitting here drinking sparkling grapefruit wine (very yummy!), listening to the audio book "A Christmas Carol" on my ipod while my honey is taking a nap. It may be Christmas but we went to the post office, bank and many stores today....so it doesn't really feel like it here. But we did eat Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch and here that is considered Christmas food!!
So I am now on winter holidays and am thankful for that. It has been busy with orders, 2 school Christmas parties and deciding what to have for New Year's lunch (my in-laws are coming over so it has to be good and traditional). I thought I would share the pictures I have taken over the last little while. There are pics from the 2 parties at my school and pictures I took while shopping. I think they are interesting.....but warning...there are many of them!

The next set of pictures are from the party we had on Saturday the 19th. We always do a craft and this time we made parfait cell phone straps using whip clay and fruit slices and sparkly things. They had a blast!

Oh Wow... I just found your blog. I visit your ETSY store often but didn't know you had a blog. I will be checking it out often so I won't be so homesick for Japan. My son and his wife live in Nishonomiya so I visit often.
