Yes, Santa even comes to Japan! Today we went to a fundraiser/ craft bazaar at a local international school called St. Maur. Avery was so excited to go see Santa until we got there. She wouldn't go up to him without me going too. But....do you blame her? He does have the "deer in the headlights" look doesn't he? Curtis said he must have just gotten parolled. Anyway, we explained to Avery that it wasn't REALLY Santa Claus, it was his "helper".
They had several food booths serving all different kinds of things from hotdogs to okonomiyaki and hot chocolate to beer and wine. Yes, beer and wine...what better way to get people to spend money than to get them all sauced up first.
The craft bazaar wasn't what I expected either. I expected all handmade crafts and goods with maybe a few store bought things. Most everything was store bought stuff. Everything from Gucci neck ties to pearl jewelry (the real thing).
They had some games for the kids as well. Avery played a raffel game and won a prize from the highest level. She actually won a doll house thing from Toys R Us with all the accessories. She was so excited and so were we! You would have thought we won the lottery or something! We really did have a decent time. At least we got to see "Santa".

Avery, I am in Mississippi and Masam saw the picture of you & Santa. You looked so sweet. We're looking forward to seeing you next month. we love you, Masam & Paw Paw.

HO HO HO ... & early Merry Christmas. This sounded like a really fun day. Avery, I am soooo excited about your new doll house, it's so neat. Does it have people that live in it? Did you watch someone make your flower balloon? I really like that too. You are having way too much fun. Can't wait to see you at NaNa & PaPa's for Christmas. You better be good 'cause Santa is watching us.
Love you all !
I was expecting a Japanese santa but that one is even scarier!
I am with Amy....YIKES on the Santa....I am surprised Avery would sit there. I see Mommy had to be there too though! LOL Looks like you guys had a great time.
