Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
And happy birthday to my little sister, now all grown up and sharing the joy (?) of working on her birthday AND Christmas. Sometimes I relish those days of old when all I had to do was wonder at night what surprises were going to show up under the tree Christmas morning!
But alas, I am in Japan, surrounded only by co-workers and tomidachi (friends) for the holidays, salivating more than anything for familial hugs (and spats) and Mom's home cooking...
And snow. I wouldn't mind a little snow.
Instead, I am spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day sharing the magic of Disney Christmas with Japanese guests, and looking forward to magical E-Village parties after work each night. I'm hoping to even make it to early Mass before work tomorrow.
I actually just got back from Christine's Italian Feast of the 7 Fishes Christmas Eve meal and it was amazing! Food, friends, drinks, and some good old-fashioned Muppet Christmas Carol (which is SO MUCH better than the crappy new Disney/Jim Carrey one), might have just made not having oyster stew a little less painful.
It's been a long week, but one more sleep till Christmas, and two sleeps till Christmas on Skype with the family. WOO HOO!
