OMG, Elf is my current favorite holiday movie! "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" I so want to answer the phone like that on the holidays. :-)

I sent you a Christmas card about a week and a half ago. Not sure how long it takes for something to get to Japan, though. I was hoping you'd get it before Christmas, but it's looking like no, but I wanted you to know that at least one more is on its way.

Japan looks beautiful this time of year. It's really nice to have pictures like that, of the places you see regularly. I did that when I lived in India years ago, and it just brings it all back to me when I look at them now.
