Christmas has come to Japan, and it promised to be another of a long
line of foreign holidays celebrated in Japan by making it a
dating/compulsory shopping thing...without any of the real meaning and
joy that comes with it. I falter...
But this year was better. One reason was because Jhendara is here and
she made it all the more fun. She got a tin cup from a friend...it
really looks like a small version of a military cup for
everything...reminded me of "G.I.Jane" where the guy is jumping up and
down in his underwear, hitting his tin cup and screaming "I stole the
pie" over and over again. It was cute, though...Jhendara's cup, not
the movie...as she looked at it, looked at us, and then looked at the
tree as if to say,"Is there anything else?". Since then, though, she
has taken a liking to her military cup.
Also, we got a package of gingerbread men-playing-taiko, an original
idea from Susanna. Those were really nice, and just for a moment, the
smell took me back to a real Christmas. Thank you so much, Susanna.
