It being Christmas/Xmas today and I not really one for following any kind of tradition, I still joined the party on the sidelines. First and foremost, there was an abundance of pastries to be had (or bought), though that was not for me but rather for my partner in crime. Second, the hallowed tradition of eating Kentucky Fried Chicken in Japan for christmas, which is of course a westerner's invasion of the country but which I can accept this one time. Third, of course there are the gifts, not many but perfect enough, including a wonderful little letter from my young friend, an alien figure from her, and a drawing/illustrator from that young friend's mother (my friend, too!).
No picture is here represented, but I stopped by my favorite office and dropped off some small gifts for my favorites there (R, Y and T)- although I did not see R, who was upstairs and I didn't want to bother her (though, in fact, I would liked to have). Of course they were surprised, as I am sure no client ever does that, or very few do. Meeting them this year has been one of the few joys of my time here.
Last but certainly not least, I saw the character who represents this town in full effect, donning a Santa costume.
