Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

Oh, if I think of Christmas, it just has to be this song. I've been listening to this for years.
There are so many versions of this song....it's difficult picking just one.
Utada Hikaru also did a pop version of it with lyrics, I'll post it next, but here's a link: FYI

Spirited Away on a Piggy Christmas

Somehow it's Christmas even though it doesn't feel like it. And it's ending, although it doesn't feel like it. And, sorry, I don't really have any really Christmassy things to tell anyone either. All I have thought today (so far) is HAM, and how much I like it. Oh, that, and how much I adore and want to cry whenever I watch Spirited Away. Oh, my addiction to Ghibli is possibly getting worse. And I miss Hayao Miyazaki!!! Well, even though my parents are sometimes......well, stupid, I don't think I would fancy them turning into pigs, either. Well.... maybe just for awhile.

Christmas Traditions

On Christmas Eve, one of our traditions that are different from everybody else is that we eat shrimp. Yes, shrimp with cocktail sauce. And on Christmas day, we usually have crackers and cheese. On New years, we drink that non-alcoholic champagne stuff. I am so happy I just finished writing my sisters present(yes writing!). Just in time. You know, pretty much all of our traditions have to do with food. Like, we also usually have chocolate pudding, and we have one nut in one of the servings. Whoever gets the nut gets to open the one Christmas eve present. It's all about the food, the holidays are.

Toffee and Peanut Brittle

My mother always makes two types of candy on the holidays to give away. The delicious chocolate covered toffee, and the nemesis peanut brittle. Peanut brittle is a nemesis, but somehow it wouldn't be Christmas without the whole house smelling like it. My nose has grown to it like that.

Tokyo Godfathers

I just finished watching a movie called Tokyo Godfathers, which is better than I remember it. I really like the hobos in it(who are the main characters). They are so funny! Irony, really. You can probably watch it here with English subs, if you're interested: Dailymotion. A sort-of Christmas movie.
