Hiroko's Hitokoto

Traditional Chinese Christmas dinner at my household, followed by black grass jelly I made to ease my stomach. 恒例の中華クリスマスディナー。自作の仙草ゼリーでさっぱりと。 Team Orange

  Flowers I got the other day went bad, and I gathered the rest of the greens and made swags. Decorated with red and gold ribbons, it became seasonal ornaments. A little extended joy of flowers. 先日頂いたお花が枯れてしまったので、残ったグリーンをまとめてスワッグにして、家にあったリボンでまとめたらそれなりの季節のデコレーションに。長く楽しめて嬉しい。 A swag on the door A swag on Ton's desk

Found a ball floating between Cuba, Jamaica, and Cancun, while searching for Santa on the radar...   Santa was above Australia

 

And distracted...

 After playing at a robot park, we went by our favorite bread shop for snack.  Masaki Naoya "Mama, take a picture! There's a rainbow!"

 サンタクロース、 見つけた！FlightRadar24で追跡できる！

 She bought some of those rolls for boys. Thank you! Masaki Naoya

  娘が学校でラジオを作ったそう。電気がついて、手動式のバッテリー＆Bluetoothまで！時代ですね。 My daughter made a radio at school. It has a light, handle for manual battery, and bluetooth! What a generation.

 A bit of a trip to get Ton a coat at Nihombashi Takashimaya. Twins were excited to see this Christmas tree, though I kept a secret that they have Pokemon Center on the top floor...  ピカチュウ、カビゴン、ミュウ  Pikachu, Snorlax, and Mew at Pokemon Center DX Tokyo

Boys received those decorated cookies from Santa at kindergarten this afternoon. Happy!   Naoya Masaki

To be prepared mentally for the winter break, we had lunch at Milieu. We were the last one who could get the table. It was a small restaurant to begin with, but it was popular. Great food as usual! Dolmades Charcoal grilled pork Greek cheese cake Baklava Desserts & mountain teas  

 New one to try. Purchased at Toyama shop in Nihombashi. Very good. 

 

 Mo wanted this spice he saw on the net, which we bought the day before, and it was time for him to actually use it for cooking. He did the most of the cooking, and was happy at the end. Success!
