The last day of the year

Since we had such a busy walking day yesterday, I decided to give my family a day off. This is the first real day off that they got. The day when we went to Kamakura was still a day that we left the house. We didn't even leave the house today. It was getting really cold and I think that no one really had the energy to leave.

We all woke up late today too. I didn't even get up until it was around 1pm. So most of the day was already wasted since it gets darker sooner and colder faster. I think that it was fun just to have everyone stay at home and to be talking to my family again.

My mother made a lot of food for us to eat. That was very good and since I never take the time to cook, I almost forgot how it is to have someone cook for me. It's a nice feeling to have and to know that you're taken care of.

Late at night, we watched the new year celebration on TV. We were watching channel 4 to a program where a guy was going to stop a flaming ball with ... himself. He was a scrawny little guy and we thought that he was going to die or something.
