"Hey, everyone celebrates Christmas, right?! Did you hear that Jesus was born on Christmas? Lucky Guy! By the way, do Christians get to celebrate Christmas too?" (actual comments I've heard in Japan.)
I've hardly got my own priorities straight because I raced around from helping at our church's program to an evening Christmas program held by church in the next city over at the city's culture center. Nearly 1000 people attended this program and it was wonderful!!! A fantastic hand bell choir, some wonderful classical music, and a fantastic gospel group of over 60 people! And this was all talent from one church. So you see, some churches are really booming in Japan! The auditorium was so vast that my pictures didn't turn out at all from there so nothing to show...
Came home and made meatballs to take to a pot luck lunch at church today but horrors! My meatballs disintegrated! I AM SUCH A TERRIBLE COOK!!! So this morning I've boiled up some macaroni and made an "Italian Meat Sauce Casserole" so my menu has suddenly changed...
BUT this evening Tetsu is taking me out to buy me a watch (one that I can read without putting on my reading glasses!) Yippee!
Nothing to show except of the morning before yesterday's whirlwind began. Here I am with 4 kitties sharing my space. Actually 5 kitties are there but Vel is sleeping UNDER the arm chair in his personal cave. I've got it rigged up with a heated cushion since he doesn't want to vie for lap space with the other kitties.

It is good to hear of christianity is growing and taking hold anywhere. I wonder what people are thinking these days. I only pray God will provide for and protect His people, which is all people. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
And yes....Christians do celebrate Christmas. Christmas is "Christ Mass". We will be celebrating our Christmas Eve Services at our local Convention Center. Our church has 5 services each Sunday, no way will our church hold everyone for the 2 Services being held on Christmas Eve.
The Christmas rush is on....I didn't see any empty parking spaces at our local mall. Yikes...thats scary. Enjoy your rest with your kittys. Rae
I do miss having lap-cats. Rosie rarely sits on my lap, though she does like to plonk herself on my legs when I'm in bed. Fat cat on straight legs = a very short cuddle!
What a great picture of you and the kitties!
What a busy day you had! I love the photo of you with the kitties! My idea of heaven - a lap full of cats!
You are so nice with the kitties.........I like that you eat italian food.
Ciao ciao
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
How do you know when you have enough cats? When you run out of lap. Great picture!
Your disappearing meatballs cracked me up. It's not because you're a terrible cook! This stuff just happens sometimes. I had the same thing happen with dumplings when cooking for my sister-in-law's family. Opened the lid and...the dumplings had completely dissolved in the gravy. Who knows why. It's not because you're a terrible cook!
Maybe the Japanese can be forgiven for not making the connection between Jesus and Christmas, but here in the Bible Belt, where everyone should know better, it still doesn't seem like a religious holiday sometimes.
You lovely softy you! with all your kitties catered for.
