ichibandasai | First (and hopefully, not last) Christmas in Japan!

In the headlines for December 25th (Christmas Day!) 2005...

Christmas in Japan entry ^_^;

Christmas in Japan!!!

Ah, my first Christmas in Japan ^^ (Well, I definitely can't say, 'My first Christmas in another country', now can I?).

I woke up quite late due to staying up late making Nika's gift...a slight cold was appearing from the yesternight.

I still had not finished Niji's gift, so I stayed a bit upstairs to finish the little beadwork.

Before I came downstairs, I donned my shalwar kameez and delivered the gifts (save for Masaki's...I did finish his at the time).

So, I recieved two sets of Pajamas for christmas! I really didn't need ot bring any over here ^_^;

I cannot emphasize how LONG I spoke with my family on the phone...about 3 hours, perhaps. Everyone and their progenitor (...and mine) wanted to talk with me...on both sides of the family.

I shot a silly christmas video including the family..A video that I, myself, will cherish forever :)

So, even though I felt as if I was coming down with something, I felt especially energetic. For the next few hours of the night, I taught little Nijika some bellydancing for the family's entertainment. It was only quite unfortunate that the dancing bells could not fit her at all ....:)

Afterwards, we watched videos of Balinese dancing. Actually, from the video I shot, as I am about to talk, Balinese music plays in the background at impeccable timing :)

Ah yes, I burned Masaki a cd filled with software and fun things for his computer otaku needs :)

And...that was...a bit of Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!...or something.
