It doesn't feel like
Christmas at all here
but I would like to wish you all
a very merry Christmas.
Our Christmas morning consisted of
ugly-looking chocolate covered banana
that I made last night,
and a cup of coffee.
Oh and this morning
we found out that cilantro seeds
germinated.
well, we found one or two germinating
yesterday and we found more today.

When I have my own family,
I wonder if I would celebrate this day.
I have plenty of good memories
but the more I think about
religions and hallmark holidays,
the more I question about
the entire culture about
giving and getting gifts
and such.
Maybe I feel it stronger because I grew up in Japan
and seeing Japanese people celebrating
a Christian holiday
always made me feel silly.
I think if I were a mom,
I will make me my family's
own holiday.
Like giving something
but maybe only handmade things
or maybe spend a day doing something together
....I don't know exactly
but something that doesn't have to be about
material.
Well, we will see....
