Yes, we got chicken and Christmas cake! It is my birthday (Yes, I am a Christmas baby!)so I got some gift (I don't know if I was getting because it was my birthday or my mother was following Christmas tradition) <br><br>This year, We had Christmas dinner with my husband's mom and stepfather and our four children. We had ham, mashed potato, mashed sweet potato, green beans, stuffed mushrooms,and salads. I made Tiramisu for dessert and it came out pretty good. <br><br>Usually we buy Christmas tree but this year we skipped and borrowed our 12 year girl's 1 foot tall fake tree. I don't know how my kids felt about it but I though it's cute.kimiyohttp://kimiyom.spaces.live.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-11604273288479171862007-12-26T07:34:00.000+09:002007-12-26T07:34:00.000+09:00Dear Tanya,it is interesting to read about celebra...Dear Tanya,<br><br>it is interesting to read about celebrating Christmas in Japan. Today I talked and asked us about that with my husband Christian and now I can read about it. Thank you!<br>I like your small tree. It is lovely with your handmade decorations. Oh, you also can make braided hearts.<br>I hope you have a happy Christmas.<br><br>Love and hugs<br>StefanieLunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04381043742044042966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-31245399211174385332007-12-26T03:22:00.000+09:002007-12-26T03:22:00.000+09:00Hmm, Sushi made a cake yesterday - I wonder if she...Hmm, Sushi made a cake yesterday - I wonder if she knows about the Christmas cake tradition. It was jello cake with cherry jello and cool whip red gel decoration. We didn't decorate at all this year.<br><br>I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.Shelinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-30173730985830814842007-12-25T14:27:00.000+09:002007-12-25T14:27:00.000+09:00I am surprised at the difference in the customs si...I am surprised at the difference in the customs since Japan does copy some of the western ways. I hope your Christmas day is very special.CONNIE Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11524592276175272170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36822513.post-16341426659832170252007-12-25T12:33:00.000+09:002007-12-25T12:33:00.000+09:00Its interesting to hear how Christmas is celebrate...Its interesting to hear how Christmas is celebrated in Japan... I somehow think I'd fit in so many ways -- my son and I seldom decorate much (sometimes like this year, not at all). Gifts are small, often unwrapped since niether of us believes in shopping "because we're supposed to". And we never have a special/traditional meal unless out at someone's home :-)<br><br>Regardless of how you celebrate, I hope you have a peaceful and blessed christmas.Quilt Pixiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15763869971803840742noreply@blogger.com
