I’m not quite sure how the year manages to go by so quickly.  I’m sitting on the floor surrounded by Christmas cards and it seems like no time at all since I did this last year.  November was incredibly busy and flew by with Japanese lessons, TPF work, and  NaNoWriMo.   I was determined to complete NaNoWriMo this year and I somehow managed to write the required 50,000 words before midnight last night.

December is my favourite month as I love Christmas.  I have put up my little Christmas tree and finished about 50% of my Christmas shopping.  Christmas in Japan is always a little strange but it certainly isn’t boring.  Marty is working on Christmas Day, so we won’t be cooking at home, but we have made reservations to go out for roast turkey that night.
