Christmas is coming

We, almost of Japanese people, are atheists.
However we love this Christmas season.

Romantic illuminations and gorgeous decorations are everywhere in towns. Kids believe Santa Clause, so they become good until they get presents. People enjoy spending their time with their families and friends and of course with lovers.

After Christmas, New Year's day is coming and it is the most important national holiday. We celebrate the beginning of New Year in Japanese traditional way.

Anyway, Christmas is coming first.
I put a Christmas tree in our living room and kids put ornaments and electric objects with grandpa.

It was FUN!

Hair Spray

Last Sunday, I went to the movie "Hair Spray" with my kids.
The story is: a high school girl who is fat but very charming is dreaming to be a star. Some people try to stop her but she has a power to make people like her. So, finally, her dream came true.
It is originally from the famous musical. I usually don't see musical movies, but, I wanted to see this one. Because....John Travolta is performing as a MOTHER! I'm not his fan, but I wanted to see that manly, hairy big guy turning into big fat mom! and Zack Efron who is a super idol among American teenagers is playing as a boyfriend. My kids like him very much. :-)
It was one of my very happy movies ever. Though my younger daughter couldn't understand English and read subtitles, my kids enjoyed the movie.

Positive thinking and happy smiles are the key to enjoy our lives, right?
