‘Tis a chilly Christmas in Akashi, and my little heater is working overtime to keep me warm. I realized as the weather started to change, that Japanese apartments don’t have much in the way of insulation compared with back home in Canada. I heard reports of snow in the general region of Japan I live in, but so far Akashi hasn’t received any.
For the first time in several years now I’m staying put for Christmas. Despite being far from the land of Christmas dinner, I had a great turkey dinner at a friend’s place (complete with stuffing and the works!) and dressed up as a plastic-bag-Christmas-tree for the kids at work to decorate at our holiday party.
I also recently went to visit one of my friends/co-workers in Kyoto and had a great tour and some delicious food!
And to quote my favourite Christmas poem: “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
