I tried to ride a skate board.

I had tried to ride a skateboard,

The Christmas illumination

I saw some beautiful illuminations in December 25th.

Recently, many commercial district tend to be furnished 

with them. Maybe, the facility has a power to bring

more customers.

Merry Christmas!

I'm a kind of "soft Buddhist.", which means I'm not a pious Buddhist.

Japanese celebrate the event of Christmas as only joyful festival.

Last December 23th, We took place a Christmas party in my home.

My wife made a roast chicken. It was very tasty.
