The tree and decorations are up, we don't have that much but it still worked out to be be a two day job! Ebi-kun managed to stick at the tree for quite a while, in years gone by her would put on three baubles and declare he was bored!

His letter to Santa is written and sent .....

ReplyDeleteMy dad is English so we are about the mice pies and cookies but after spending about 1man to get all the ingredients one year I have given up on them in Japan. I'm very impressed that your make them!
I have never had a mince pie, but I just googled it and it sounds yummy. I LOVE the letter, very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try a mince pie! I love trying new things! The letter is very sweet. I LOVE the PS.
ReplyDeletethe mincemeat and xmas pus are not cheap BUT I don't buy speical foreign food the rest of the year so I see it as a treat to splash out at Christmas, I squirrel money away in the months running up to the big day so it isn't as painful lol.
