Christmas in Kyoto - Part I

---

This is just a quick note to wish everyone back home a very Merry Christmas!

We also really appreciated all of the festive phone calls we received! It was great to hear some familiar voices. Thanks. We will post a longer blog entry of our adventures in Kyoto when we get more time. We're off to enjoy a turkey dinner at an Irish Pub! Looking forward to it.

Hope everyone has a great day and a nice time over the holidays.

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Michelle and Travis

Merry Christmas! We had one of the concierge ladies dig up a piece of cardboard and a marker for us to write the message. In katakana it says "Merry Christmas love Michelle and Travis".

Well, do you enjoy x'mas?

Merry Christmas
We found a decorated tree down a random back alley! Very nice!

Merry Christmas!
Dear Michelle and Travis, Merry Christmas from Willow Farm! It looks like you have had a wonderful day. We are waiting for the boys to get up. We told them they could sleep until 9 a.m. They are going to make us "Eggs Bennie" for breakfast. We had a quiet evening last night. Ron, Sondra and Kyla arrive this afternoon. Lynda gets the little ones this afternoon so they will be here for dinner tonight. I have a 21 lb. turkey. I hope it fits in the oven! We miss you and love you! Beth and Dad xxxx oooo

Belated Merry Christmas ! Hope you have some fun plans for New Years - but from what I have seen in your blogs - having fun is not an issue. Happy New Year! xo Sheila
