Hello Everyone, as it is Christmas today, we’ll not be posting our usual Business English blog as we do on usual Mondays. Christmas is unfortunately not a holiday in Japan but for us in Kensington it’s one of the most important days in the year, and it’s not a day for business. It’s a day to spend with and for your family.
My daughter will be waking up today with the same eager anticipation she wakes up every Christmas day to see if Santa has brought the presents she asked for. She has asked for a desk this year so she can do her homework more easily. Santa has indeed bought the desk from Rakuten and his little elves spent Christmas Eve drunk trying to assemble it.
My son Alexander is almost 2 years old and is still unaware of Santa’s existence so he hasn’t asked for anything. Nevertheless, Santa has decided to bring him an Anpanman related toy which he found on Amazon. Alexander will undoubtedly be happy as Anpanman is his hero!
Santa hasn’t bought anything for me unfortunately but I’m planning to cook a roast chicken (turkey doesn’t fit our tiny over :(), make some delicious bruschettas, watch some Christmas movies, play some board games and have a great time with my family as we usually do every Christmas. That’s quite enough of a present!
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you have a lovely day!
Tim
