Japanese Christmas!

Thought you would all enjoy seeing a picture of the Japanese St. Nick that we found at a local mall in Yokohama. The Japanese were paying their money just like Americans do so that their children can talk to Santa Claus and ask him for presents this year. It was fun to see and there are many decorations around the town to make us feel like we're home at Christmas time. There is the younger generation of Japanese that do celebrate the holiday, and the stores, of course, love it. This is also a picture of Sydney this week with our Christmas tree. Some of you will recognize the we decorated our tree with pictures from family and friends on their Christmas cards. We left most of our christmas decorations at home and so this is one way to see everyone everyday. There will be more pictures to come so keep an eye on the website. Love and miss everyone, Harry, Kathleen and Sydney
