Merri Kurisumasu 2008

Festive seasons greetings comrades! or "Merri Kurusumasu" as one would say in the Land of the Rising Sun. While the Japanese do "celebrate" Christmas, its mainly for the monetary spirit - most of the Christmas decorations will be taken down either tonight or tomorrow.

Dollfie Saber who we adopted recently has been getting into the festive mood too. Her hair is a bit messy as I haven't got brush for her yet ^^;

Saber removes her armor and relaxes in the lounge with a few new comrades - as you can see, she's not having a Ronery Christmas - how about you?

Back in the UK I would probably be watching Home Alone on TV for the 10th time while choosing stuff to eat from the kitchen table which would normally be filled with stuff from Tescos. Hmmm. Bit homesick now.

And what do the Japanese traditionally eat for Christmas? Chicken because Turkeys are not common here.

BTW, this photo in Wallpaper Pool.

Saber curiously wonders around the house. Probably wondering where her new clothes are.

Sabers gorgeous armor. More Saber unboxing pr0n and photos soon.

Christmas day in Japan is just like any other working day and we are in the office busy working away on Mirai Gaia features while listening to some festive internet radio - Smooth Jazz Tampa Bay.

But work is so much fun at Mirai Inc that it feels more like play - especially when Suddenly Acquired Figures, Gadgets, Dakimakura and 130,000 yen Dollfies suddenly appear on the doorstep - its like Christmas all year round ^^;

What cool/crap stuff you been buying/receiving? Its the thought that counts but hey - we all end up with useless stuff from time to time - like an oar for a boat that I don't have.

And for those wondering what Japanese Christmas cards look like.

Merri Kurisumasu everyone!
