Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all, from snowbound Minnesota. We’ve received about six inches of fresh snow here in the last 24 hours, with more promised tonight, but we’re in a cozy warm house surrounded by mountains of Christmas cookies and brownies, and the refrigerator is stocked with egg nog, so we’ll survive somehow!
I hope that you are all enjoying a lovely holiday season with family and friends, and that 2010 brings you peace and great joy.
Here’s a small Christmas gift for you that I just discovered this morning: an English-language version by Yamashita Tatsuro of his classic 1983 hit, “Christmas Eve.” (For purists, the original Japanese-language version is here. Then again, if you’re a purist, what are you doing here?)
