A few more Christmas pictures

Browsing through my phone and I found a few more pictures:


Our loot.


Dinner. Fumiko made some great tasting gratin (pasta hot bake?) and I'm ashamed to say that I went to KFC and bought chicken. It's a Japan Christmas tradition for me to smugly ask my students if they're going to go to (horror upon horrors) Kentucky to buy some Christmas chicken. And there I was on Christmas Eve buying chicken myself.


And finally the Christmas cake. Christmas cake you say? Yes if there is one thing that can actually be called a Christmas tradition in Japan it's Christmas cake. It's completely ridiculous of course but it's Japan. I suppose the candles are for Jesus. We couldn't find room for the other 2001 candles on the cake.
