In Japan, they play Chrismas music in all the stores for a month, but they don't get the day off work. So, our Christmas in Japan will be on Saturday, when I can stay home.
The Tree Set is from D2. It came with all the decorations - glass balls, garland, bows, gold-painted pine cones, 30 blinking lights, little wrapped boxes, a big bow for the top, a Merry Christmas sign, and a packet of cotton (for a snow effect). About $22. I put on the lights and Dante did everything else. I didn't give him the cotton, 'cause I thought it was lame.
Vicky doesn't have the same idea I do that the tree isn't complete until there is a pile of presents under it. I guess she wants them all to show up on Christmas Eve at midnight.
For Christmas dinner, Vicky's having sushi, Dante is having his favorite pasta (carbonara), and I'm having adzuki-bean filled pastries. Maybe I'll get some KFC, too. When in Rome . . .
He was very disappointed he still couldn't ride. The park is set up with a road to drive on that has real traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, stop signs, etc. We told him it was for learning to drive, and he said this morning he was going to get his driver's license. I let him steer the family go-kart, but it just wasn't the same.
