Christmas Party

The international group here put on a Christms Party. I went with Mrs. Yamaki. Their real name is Suzuki, but there are a lot of Suzuki's here. So Mr. Suzuki is often called by his shop's name, Yamaki.

There was a dance group that put on a show.








The Girl Scouts were there, too, as well as a couple of my students. A group sang Christmas songs, first in Japanese, then in English. Finally Santa gave gifts to all the foreigners and children.

Of course, there was a lot of delicious food!















When told that I would miss the bus back to Kanai (my neighborhood), I said that I'd come with Mrs. Claus -- it was Mr. Yamaki that had been Santa!

Here are the younger Girl Scouts doing their routine. It included music from "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea".



Here are more Girl Scouts. The two on the right are students at KJHS.





All told, it was a fun party! Some people I know, and great food -- what more could I want?
