Christmas season 2008

I went out for dinner on both Christmas Eve and on the
Christmas night. And when I went out for a dinner to
Shinsengumi ramen with Mama Gushi and Chika, they
gave me a Christmas present. The super rare limited
edition Scion headphones!! I can listen to my favorite
J-Pop at the airport tomorrow with these cool headsets!!!

Thank you Mama Gushi and Chika chan !!

This was my first time at this particular Shinsengumi,
but both the ramen, small dishes, and desserts were
all super good. They handmake each desserts and half
of them was already sold out, so I will come back for
more next year !!!
And we gathered at our team manager Koji's house
for the Christmas dinner. Koji has prepared this huge
roast beef. It was soooo goooood that I forgot to take
a pic of the dinner table. I think it was the best roast
beef I've ever had. Seriously !!

On the left, Koji is slicing the roast beef with the electric
sword. On the right is his wife Mako caring for their
fast growing son, Koki !!

Koki is growing fast and getting smarter. He is very
cute but behind his smirk, he must be thinking of
new ways to cause trouble !!! And I wish I was
as flexible was he is !!

The dessert was this strawberry short cake from Bonjour.
It was super good too !

Thank you very much to Koji and his family for always
inviting us for holiday dinners !!!
Economy sucks for everyone in the world now, but
it's nice to be able to celebrate with good food and
great friends to forget about all the bad things (^o^)//
