メリー・クリスマス！
Christian and I have had an amazing week, and we're now ending it on a high note with a traditional Japanese Christmas Eve. We've done the works, I'm even wearing a santa outfit!
Okay so I don't usually dress like this for Christmas, but I wanted a santa outfit, and then I found a Dempagumi one, and I just lost it pic.twitter.com/MM7gfQkN49

In Japan, people have KFC for Christmas dinner. I'm not 100% sure how this became a thing, but it's huge. There's a KFC in the food court of our local department store. They gave us a pickup slip for our order, we had to wait two hours to come back and pick up our food! I'm glad we decided to go out and get dinner a little earlier than originally planned. At least we didn't have to wait two hours in line outside the KFC, that would have been a downer. Instead we explored the department store and took in the madness of Christmas Eve shopping. I loved every second of it.
We took the food home, and had dinner while watching Christmas films.
We also had Christmas Cake, another Japanese tradition. Typically a fancy strawberry shortcake with plenty of cream. The red and white supposedly symbolises the Japanese flag.
I picked this up a couple of days ago, I was worried they'd sell out (and indeed, the store I got it from was all sold out of cakes today!)
Thankfully I made sure to buy the Christmas cake well in advance. Merry Christmas! pic.twitter.com/0thnzaFZGG

I got a pocket operator for Christmas! It's a little synth with bass noises. Christian had one of these things allready and wanted to collect them all, so we gifted each other the missing pieces.
Merry Christmas!
