Christmas Part Two

We carried our celebration of Christmas through much of December, finally capping it off Friday at school (Bible Camp).

We had Asahina-sensei over for dinner on December 23rd, a national holiday (current Emperor’s birthday). She brought fried tofu filled with leeks, radish pickles, satoimo, and miso glazed daikon.

I made salad, mushroom crepes, French onion soup, and risotto cakes.

Ready to eat!

Yum!!

For dessert, we had a store bought Christmas cake. We chose a fruit tart.

We had to work Christmas Eve (and Day), so after work, I made us a nice dinner and we opened gifts.

This is our tree.

Teddy with his gifts.

Teddy got lots of Magic cards.

I made him chocolates (I also gave some to the other teachers at school).

Me with my gifts.

I got many earrings, snacks, and these cute cups!

My family sent us a Christmas card written in Japanese!

Well, that is all for Christmas! I hope that everyone else had a lovely holiday!!
