It’s December and I finally get to play Christmas carols and songs.  Not that anyone stops me playing them sooner, but it’s part of my traditional build-up to Christmas to start now.  December is still my favourite month though living in Japan has changed how we celebrate Christmas. Marty will have to work on Christmas day but I will cook a turkey dinner on the Saturday after Christmas and we are going to stay with friends on Christmas Eve.

I’m going to spend part of the evening writing cards while trying not to drive Marty too mad as I sing along to carols.
