I usually post on Fridays, but seeing as how I’ll be knee-deep in waffles, wrapping paper, and spiked egg nog, I’m posting a bit early this week.  I also didn’t wish to encourage blog browsing on a day of friends and family.

I wanted to take another break from the Japan posts to wish you all a very joyous holiday season.  Whether you celebrate with a large family, your spouse, your friends, your cat, or alone at the beach – or you celebrate another holiday entirely – I hope you find joy in the season and rejoice in nurturing your favorite traditions.  May your holiday be filled with love and laughter.

A very merry Christmas to you all!!
