Santa Claus has not visited my place for decades, but I still believe that something sweet will happen on me if I am a good girl. So, even on the night of Christmas Eve, I worked hard until late as usual.
When I got home, I recognized that I have received packages. One was a box and the other one was a big envelope.
I opened the box first. It was from Marlo in Southern California. And in the box...there are boxful of penguins! My favorite ones!!
"The kids tried to find anything like penguins in their toy collection and whenever we went out to send to you. They remembered that you loved penguins, so now you have many more to add to your collection! We hope you like them."
Trinity and Jett found them for me! How sweet they are!!
While holding the penguinful box, I couldn't help but warming the cookies of my heart.
Isn't it nice to have somebody who remember me overseas?
I also opened the other parcel. There was a book, "Dewey" (by Vicki Mayson) and a Christmas card from Mary in Medford, Oregon. She wrote a lot for me with her heart-warming words.
Finally, tears came from my eyes.
Thank you my friends! I always love you and miss you!!
I believe Santa Claus came to deliver those parcels for me, while I was gone for work...
So...let me say..."Thank you, too, Mr. Santa Claus!"
Besides there presents, I have enjoyed such a wonderful Christmas season this year.
Dec. 20 -- Christmas Dinner at Ritsuko's House: I made Roasted Chiken and Chinese Pork for five good girls. Everybody loves my dishes. Ritsuko prepared salad with 'miracle' honey mustard dressing, which was innovated by accident.
Dec. 21 -- Christmas Dinner with Mika. We enjoyed Spanish food at El Camino Comedor in Kagurazaka, Tokyo.
Dec. 22 -- Breakfast with Mr. Santa Claus (winter-only! who came to Tokyo from Kyoto for work) in Roppongi, Tokyo. We had such a nice talk over the breakfast, as usual, and I had abdominal muscle-ache as we laugh too much. Thanks to him, I manged the busiest-day-of-the -week while keep smiling throughout the day.
Dec. 23 -- Christmas Dinner with a new friend. We have known each other for months via Internet but just found out we in the same area of Tokyo. I asked him for dinner as my favorite restaurant offers special Christmas menu on Dec. 23-24. As he runs a popular gourmet blog with hundreds viewers daily, I thought he must be an ideal person to go out with on the night... and I was right! It was such a nice dinner, something "VERY CHRISTMAS."
Hope everybody, my dearest friends and the people on this earth, be happy like me!
Happy Holidays!!!
