so meg and justin came down for christmas eve and we made the most delicious dinner and drank champagne and wine and had a really great christmas. It really didnt feel like christmas around here until that night, it was perfect and exactly what i needed. i completely loved seeing them. when it was just us sitting around drinking and eating in my apartment, you couldnt even tell we were in japan. it felt like we were back home. it was nice. the next day i worked and they came and met me for a quick lunch. christmas day was strange, working like any other day, the students hardly even knew it was christmas. it was just…. so different. Meg and justin decided to stick around another night, which made me so happy, we went out to a izakaya for dinner, it was delicious, of course, but definitely a very unchristmasey dinner, but our dinner the night before totally covered those grounds.
They left today when i went to work, and it was sad, but I know i will see them both soon. Im so happy they came all the way out here to spend christmas with me. it was really a special couple of days. I love those two, like family. Its almost winter vacation and i cannot wait to have a break. I also cannot wait to see clinton and laura and to fiiiiinally visit kyoto. i think its going to be an experience and a half.
anywho, it’s late, and i must work tomorrow, so i shall be off. gnight all. merry merry christmas to everyone. i hope you all had a very happy holiday. xoxoxoo
