For Xmas, my friend Leanne had the brilliant idea of hosting a party at her place. It was a lot of fun and everyone had a good time. We had tacos, beer, and cake. Usually Christmas in Japan is a time for couples to have their romantic time together and not so much about being with families like in the states. So it was really good to get together with friends and celebrate the day.
