ChristmaSnowboard!

I snowboarded in a skiing ground, Fujiten, near my city with my friends in my lab for 3 days, Dec. 22, 23, 24. This skiing ground had Christmas event that gave us free lift tickets for this 3 days only if we wore clothes like Santa Claus! It was the best event for me because I had no money and no girlfriend and I was able to practice snowboard as hard as I could. Actually, there were a lot of families and couples and so many Santas were skiing. Incidentally, we bought the Santa cloth by about $4 in one coin shop. How cheep it was! We were able to enjoy it so much. Two girls in second photo spoke to us on the lift on the first day and asked us to snowboard with them. They were so talkative, loud and cheerful. Finally, we snowboarded with them whole day. Their dad thanked us when we went home.

Christmas is also one of the biggest events in Japan. Now, everything is Christmas, Christmas, Christmas! Many shops are decorated with so many lights and illuminations of some parks are very beautiful there are couples who are dating and families who buy presents for children.

Recently, some normal houses became to be decorated with so many lights! Some of them are competing with each other for illuminations. Sometime some people go to the area to see it because it may be more beautiful than some decorated parks.

However, my family thinks Christmas is not so important. My mom bought nothing but Christmas cake in our friend’s cake shop yesterday because she likes it very much and we just ate it but my dad didn't because he doesn’t like so sweet cake. For my family, Christmas is only for my mom.

Some of my friends seemed to have a good time with their girlfriends. I envy them a little but I don’t want to think so. I am writing my article and my thesis form now and I want to finish them as early as possible and go to snowboarding!

Did you have a good time in Christmas day?
