Christmas and my Third Birthday Party

Damn, that's a record I'm sure. It's hard enough to get one party going in the U.S. but I've got 3 this week in Japan. This trip is turning out much better than I thought. Perfect cap on the year too. I got home late last night and there fore stayed up late. I woke up late this morning, but I still managed to get the gifts wrapped and delivered to my neighbors. They were surprised which was good, but since I was late, I had to rush to go to CP's house.

It took about 2 hours just to get there. Then I had to buy a drink of some sort, which I bought tea, not so Christmas like, but something anyways. I walked in about 30 minutes late, which wasn't really bad since I walked in with my boss, AOwa, too. She was also late, and there were people coming in after us too. It started off kind of slow, but we worked our way to the appetizers. It was amazing stuff, and CP prepared it all. I can even begin to name all of it, but I will try. They had a lot of cheeses, pate, crackers, asparagus wrapped with ham, chocolate truffles, salad and tomatoes. Nice stuff, and that was just the beginning.

Then we dove into the turkey dinner, with mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrot and peas, cranberry sauce, and some other stuff too. Then we started on desserts later. She made 2 cakes, tiramisu, rasberry pie, more chocolate truffles, and cookies. Afterwards we were all stuffed. It was a good Christmas, but I had to take a lot of the food home. I was the only single male in the room, a room of only 6 people might I add. At least I won't have to cook for a week.

We also did a little gift exchange, and I got a monkey that makes weird noises. My boss got my bath thingy. It's camamille scented, I heard it was good stuff. But not sure, I'll have to ask later.It took a while to get home. When I got home, I started chatting with friends. I mean it's 5am and I still haven't slept yet. It's good times, good times.
