It all started the day after Halloween when I walked into the BX (a store very similar to Wal/K-mart) and the orange and browns of fall/halloween had been replaced with red, green, and silver. Apparently being a day ahead of the rest of the Western world isn't good enough, we need an even bigger jump on Christmas (the commercial part anyway)...this probably highlights my shopping ignorance, but isn't that a bit early? Anyhoo...
We also had the pleasure of celebrating an early Thanksgiving dinner with some of our Okinawan family last weekend. This same group of friends will be spending "Turkey Day" proper traveling to Hong Kong and our chances of finding turkey and the fixings will probably be slim to none, so we figured we'd celebrate early since we had the time.
We topped off dinner with our annual review of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and the ladies all decided it was time to decorate. So, Ang spent this Sunday dragging out 6 super-sized rubber maid tubs of Christmas gear along with the tree and setting it all up. (and yes, we had some christmas tunes on to set the mood right). So thanks to her efforts, the house looks great and we're officially kicking off our holiday season in style...(along with all the other Christmas junkies out there)

OK, so I guess I had better get on this blog more often...it is very good to hear about your fun times and know that you are enjoying life in Japan.

PS Early Christmas, it is never too early for Christmas!
