The day following Thanksgiving Day is called \u201cBlack Friday\u201d and the biggest sale starts in most retailers such as department stores and supermarkets. The Christmas sales battles start on that day and the Christmas atmosphere immediately increases. However, the Thanksgiving custom was not introduced into Japan, so the Christmas season starts earlier than in America. The commercial facilities filled with Halloween ornaments are brilliantly decorated with Christmas ornaments one night after October 31st. When I see them, I feel a little restless to know the end of the year will come around soon and at the same time I am excited with the upcoming holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>\u6700\u8fd1\u306f\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306e\u96fb\u98fe\u3084\u88c5\u98fe\u3092\u65bd\u3059\u4e00\u822c\u306e\u81ea\u5b85\u3082\u5897\u3048\u3066\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u8fd1\u6240\u3067\u3082\u7d20\u6674\u3089\u3057\u3044\u30a4\u30eb\u30df\u30cd\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u3092\u898b\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3067\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002\u30c6\u30ec\u30d3\u3084\u96d1\u8a8c\u3067\u53d6\u308a\u4e0a\u3052\u3089\u308c\u305f\u304a\u5b85\u3082\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002\u308f\u3093\u3053\u3068\u6563\u6b69\u3057\u306a\u304c\u3089\u305d\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306a\u304a\u5b85\u3081\u3050\u308a\u3092\u697d\u3057\u307f\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Recently, even common houses are decorated with Christmas illuminations and decorations.

In addition to presents, I was looking forward to a big dinner made by my mother who loved to cook for our family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3503\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3503\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3503\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_boots.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_boots.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_boots-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_boots-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u5b50\u4f9b\u306e\u9803\u3001\u304a\u83d3\u5b50\u304c\u3044\u3063\u3071\u3044\u5165\u3063\u305f\u30b5\u30f3\u30bf\u3055\u3093\u306e\u8d64\u3044\u30d6\u30fc\u30c4\u3092\u3082\u3089\u3046\u306e\u3082\u697d\u3057\u307f\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30d6\u30fc\u30c4\u306e\u5927\u304d\u3055\u306e\u5272\u306b\u306f\u4e2d\u306b\u5165\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u304a\u83d3\u5b50\u306f\u5c11\u306a\u3044\u3057\u3001\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u304c\u7d42\u308f\u308b\u3068\u9577\u9774\u578b\u306e\u6bb5\u30dc\u30fc\u30eb\u306b\u5e03\u304c\u8cbc\u3063\u3066\u3042\u308b\u30d6\u30fc\u30c4\u306f\u3059\u3050\u306b\u90aa\u9b54\u306b\u306a\u308a\u6368\u3066\u3089\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u305d\u308c\u3067\u3082\u6bce\u5e74\u3001\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306b\u306a\u308b\u3068\u3082\u3089\u3063\u3066\u559c\u3093\u3067\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\u540c\u69d8\u3001\u65e5\u672c\u306711\u6708\u672b\u306b\u306a\u308b\u3068\u3053\u306e\u8d64\u3044\u30d6\u30fc\u30c4\u306f\u3042\u3061\u3053\u3061\u306e\u5e97\u3067\u4eca\u3067\u3082\u58f2\u3089\u308c\u306f\u3058\u3081\u307e\u3059\u3002\u6700\u8fd1\u306f\u3055\u307e\u3056\u307e\u306a\u5927\u304d\u3055\u3067\u3001\u8d64\u3060\u3051\u3067\u306a\u304f\u9752\u3001\u7dd1\u3001\u30d4\u30f3\u30af\u306a\u3069\u306e\u30d6\u30fc\u30c4\u3092\u898b\u3064\u3051\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3067\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002\u79c1\u306e\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u5b50\u4f9b\u306e\u9803\u3001\u6bce\u5e74\u7956\u7236\u306b\u8cb7\u3063\u3066\u3082\u3089\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n<p>When I was a child, I also looked forward to Santa\u2019s red boots full of sweets. Not so many sweets are in the boots for its capacity. When Christmas passed by, boot-shaped corrugated cardboard which was covered with red cloth turned into just an obstacle and were thrown away. Still I was very happy to get the boots. Still now many shops and supermarkets sell such boots from the end of November\u3000as well as in the States. Lately, I have found various sizes and colors of the boots such as blue, green and pink. My son was given one by his grandfather every year when he was young.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3509\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3509\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3509\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_taka.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_taka.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_taka-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_taka-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u592b\u306e\u4ea1\u304f\u306a\u3063\u305f\u7236\u306f\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u306a\u306e\u3067\u3001\u6bce\u5e74\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306f\u5fa1\u30df\u30b5\u306b\u51fa\u5e2d\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u79c1\u3082\u4f55\u5ea6\u304b\u4e00\u7dd2\u306b\u6559\u4f1a\u306b\u884c\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304c\u3001\u4e00\u756a\u306e\u601d\u3044\u51fa\u306f\u307e\u3060\u5e7c\u304b\u3063\u305f\u606f\u5b50\u3082\u51fa\u5e2d\u3057\u305f\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u30a4\u30d6\u306e\u5fa1\u30df\u30b5\u3067\u3059\u3002\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u307e\u30603\u6b73\u3050\u3089\u3044\u3067\u7406\u89e3\u3067\u304d\u306a\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u304c\u3001\u795e\u7236\u69d8\u306e\u304a\u8a71\u3084\u8cdb\u7f8e\u6b4c\u306b\u4e00\u751f\u61f8\u547d\u8033\u3092\u50be\u3051\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u305d\u3057\u3066\u591c\u304c\u66f4\u3051\u308b\u3068\u3001\u30b3\u30af\u30ea\u30b3\u30af\u30ea\u3068\u7720\u308a\u59cb\u3081\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n<p>My husband\u2019s deceased father was a Christian, so he attended Christmas Mass.

The kindergarteners performed a play of the Nativity. He played the role of a watch man of a barn. His kindergarten had a rule that parents made handmade Christmas gifts for their children secretly and brought them to the kindergarten. The presents were given to the children as gifts from Santa Claus. My husband is good with his hands. He made wonderful gifts for our son. He made a wooden pinball machine in the first grade, an elaborate bingo game in the second grade, and colorful rings and a large target in the third grade. Our son was very pleased with all of his father\u2019s affectionate Christmas gifts. At that time, he didn\u2019t know at all that his father made them, and he believed Santa Claus did.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3504\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3504\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3504\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes1.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u79c1\u304c\u7d50\u5a5a\u3057\u3066\u304b\u3089\u306e\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306e\u3054\u99b3\u8d70\u306b\u6bce\u5e74\u6b20\u304b\u305b\u306a\u3044\u306e\u304c\u3001\u82e5\u9d8f\u306e\u304a\u8179\u306b\u30d4\u30e9\u30d5\u3092\u8a70\u3081\u305f\u30ed\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30c1\u30ad\u30f3\u3067\u3059\u3002\u4f5c\u308a\u65b9\u306f\u7c21\u5358\u3067\u3001\u826f\u3044\u82e5\u9d8f\u3055\u3048\u624b\u306b\u5165\u308c\u3070\u8ab0\u306b\u3067\u3082\u7f8e\u5473\u3057\u304f\u4f5c\u308c\u307e\u3059\u3002\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u5927\u597d\u7269\u3067\u3001\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u4ee5\u5916\u306b\u3082\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u304a\u8a95\u751f\u65e5\u306e\u5b9a\u756a\u30e1\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u3067\u3059\u3002\u3053\u308c\u306f\u7fa9\u6bcd\u306e\u5f97\u610f\u6599\u7406\u306e\u3072\u3068\u3064\u3067\u79c1\u306b\u4f5c\u308a\u65b9\u3092\u4f1d\u6388\u3057\u3066\u304f\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u7fa9\u6bcd\u306f\u6bce\u5e74\u713c\u3044\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304c\u3001\u9ad8\u9f62\u306b\u306a\u308a\u4ee3\u308f\u308a\u306b\u79c1\u304c\u713c\u304f\u3088\u3046\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30aa\u30fc\u30d6\u30f3\u306b\u30c1\u30ad\u30f3\u3092\u5165\u308c\u306610\u5206\u3082\u7d4c\u3064\u3068\u3001\u79c1\u306e\u6c17\u5206\u3092\u9ad8\u63da\u3055\u305b\u308b\u9999\u308a\u304c\u5bb6\u306e\u4e2d\u306b\u6f02\u3044\u59cb\u3081\u307e\u3059\u3002\u3053\u306e\u30ed\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30c1\u30ad\u30f3\u306f\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u5927\u597d\u7269\u3067\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u3060\u3051\u3067\u306a\u304f\u3001\u304a\u8a95\u751f\u65e5\u306b\u3082\u6bce\u5e74\u713c\u3044\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u6599\u7406\u304c\u4e0a\u624b\u3067\u3001\u9ad8\u6821\u751f\u306b\u306a\u308b\u3068\u79c1\u306e\u4ee3\u308f\u308a\u306b\u4f5c\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u308b\u3088\u3046\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n<p>I have made a roast chicken stuffed with pilaf for a Christmas feast every year since I got married. The recipe of this chicken is very simple, so anyone can make a great roast chicken only if a young whole chicken of high quality is available. This was one of my mother-in-law\u2019s specialties and she told me how to cook it. She used to roast it every Christmas day and I took it over from her when she became older. Around 10 minutes after I put the chicken into the oven, a reassuring smell to me begin to float in the house. My son loves it very much, so I also made it on his birthday every year. He is a good cook, so he has cooked a chicken by himself since he was a high school student.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3505\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3505\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3505\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes2.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u5fd9\u3057\u3044\u5e74\u672b\u306b\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306e\u304a\u6599\u7406\u3092\u4f5c\u308b\u306e\u306f\u5927\u5909\u3067\u3059\u3002\u3042\u308a\u304c\u305f\u3044\u3053\u3068\u306b\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u6bce\u5e74\u6599\u7406\u306e\u8155\u3092\u4e0a\u3052\u3001\u30ed\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30c1\u30ad\u30f3\u3060\u3051\u3067\u306a\u304f\u3001\u82fa\u306e\u8f09\u3063\u305f\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad\u3001\u96ea\u3060\u308b\u307e\u578b\u306e\u30d1\u30f3\u3001\u30e2\u30f3\u30d6\u30e9\u30f3\u306a\u3069\u3055\u307e\u3056\u307e\u306a\u30b9\u30a4\u30fc\u30c4\u3082\u4f5c\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u308b\u3088\u3046\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5bb6\u65cf\u306e\u611b\u72ac\u306e\u3075\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u3068\u304a\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u3082\u4e00\u7dd2\u306b\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306e\u304a\u795d\u3044\u3092\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u30022014\u5e74\uff08\u5e73\u621026\u5e74\uff09\u306e\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u307e\u3067\u5f8c2\u30f6\u6708\u3068\u3044\u3046\u6642\u306b\u3075\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u306f12\u6b73\u3067\u5929\u56fd\u306e\u8679\u306e\u6a4b\u306e\u305f\u3082\u3068\u3078\u884c\u3063\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3075\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u306e\u3044\u306a\u3044\u305d\u306e\u5e74\u306e\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306f\u3068\u3066\u3082\u5bc2\u3057\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3067\u3059\u3002<br \/>\nI have been tasked with making Christmas dinner during busy year-end days.

Our beloved Fu-chan and Oh-chan celebrated Christmas with us. In 2014 (Heisei 26th yr), just about 2 months before Christmas, Fu-chan went over to the foot of the Rainbow Bridge of Heaven. We spent a very lonely Christmas without Fu-chan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3506\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3506\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3506\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes3.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas_dishes3-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2016\u5e748\u6708\u306b\u3059\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u30012017\u5e746\u6708\u306b\u3046\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u3068\u3044\u3046\u65b0\u3057\u3044\u5bb6\u65cf\u3092\u8fce\u3048\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u82e5\u30442\u5339\u306e\u5973\u306e\u5b50\u306f\u611b\u3089\u3057\u304f\u3001\u30a8\u30cd\u30eb\u30ae\u30fc\u306b\u6e80\u3061\u3042\u3075\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u305f\u3081\u3001\u3075\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u304c\u3044\u306a\u304f\u306a\u3063\u3066\u30b0\u30c3\u3068\u8001\u3044\u305f\u304a\u30fc\u3061\u3083\u3093\u3082\u523a\u6fc0\u3092\u3082\u3089\u3044\u5c11\u3057\u5143\u6c17\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u305d\u308c\u4ee5\u964d3\u308f\u3093\u3053\u3068\u4e00\u7dd2\u306b\u8cd1\u3084\u304b\u306a\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u3092\u904e\u3054\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>In August 2016, Su-chan and in June 2016 U-chan became our new family members.

The glorious phoenix and many other artistic objects gave us an illusion that we were in a fantasy world. Our dogs seemed to be puzzled by many Santa Clauses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3511\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3511\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3511\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20041225chibori.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20041225chibori.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20041225chibori-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20041225chibori-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2004\u5e74\uff08\u5e73\u621016\u5e74\uff09\u306e\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306f\u5bb6\u65cf\u3068\u4e00\u7dd2\u306b\u5009\u6577\u30c1\u30dc\u30ea\u516c\u5712\u3067\u904e\u3054\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u3053\u306e\u516c\u5712\u306f\u5009\u6577\u7d21\u7e3e\u306e\u5de5\u5834\u8de1\u5730\u306b1997\u5e74\uff08\u5e73\u62109\u5e74\uff09\u306b\u30c7\u30f3\u30de\u30fc\u30af\u306e\u30b3\u30da\u30f3\u30cf\u30fc\u30b2\u30f3\u306e\u30c1\u30dc\u30ea\u516c\u5712\u3092\u30e2\u30c7\u30eb\u306b\u958b\u5712\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5009\u6577\u30c1\u30dc\u30ea\u516c\u5712\u306e\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306e\u30a4\u30eb\u30df\u30cd\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u304c\u6709\u540d\u3060\u3068\u3044\u3046\u3053\u3068\u3092\u5168\u304f\u77e5\u3089\u305a\u306b\u3001\u305f\u307e\u305f\u307e\u8fd1\u304f\u3092\u901a\u3063\u305f\u306e\u3067\u5bc4\u3063\u3066\u307f\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u7d0410\u4e07\u500b\u306e\u96fb\u98fe\u306f\u3068\u3066\u3082\u5e7b\u60f3\u7684\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5f53\u6642\u3001\u3053\u306e\u516c\u5712\u306f\u5165\u5712\u8005\u304c\u6fc0\u6e1b\u3057\u3066\u3001\u7d4c\u55b6\u96e3\u3060\u3068\u805e\u3044\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304c\u3001\u601d\u3063\u305f\u3088\u308a\u305f\u304f\u3055\u3093\u306e\u4eba\u304c\u6765\u5712\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5f8c\u3067\u5206\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3059\u304c\u3001\u305d\u306e\u5e74\u3067\u305d\u306e\u65e5\u304c\u6700\u3082\u5165\u5712\u8005\u304c\u591a\u304b\u3063\u305f\u305d\u3046\u3067\u3059\u3002\u305d\u306e4\u5e74\u5f8c\u306e2009\u5e74\uff08\u5e73\u621021\u5e74\uff091\u67081\u65e5\u5348\u524d1\u6642\u306b\u9589\u5712\u3057\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u73fe\u5728\u3001\u8de1\u5730\u306f\u30a2\u30a6\u30c8\u30ec\u30c3\u30c8\u30d1\u30fc\u30af\u306b\u306a\u3063\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>My family spent December 25th in 2004 (Heisei 16th yr) in Kurashiki Tivoli Garden. This garden was constructed on the former site of the Kurashiki-boseki factory on the model of Tivoli Garden in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1997 (Heisei 9th yr). Until we happened to drop in on that day, we didn\u2019t know the Christmas illuminations there were famous. About 100,000 lights were very fantastic. As the number of visitors sharply declined, the management of the garden reportedly came to deteriorate. However, we saw more people than we expected. Later we found out it was the most-crowded day of the year. The garden was closed 4 years later, at 1:00 am on January 1st in 2009 (Heisei 21st). An outlet mall exists on the site at present.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3512\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3512\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3512\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20111215sea.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20111215sea.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20111215sea-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20111215sea-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u5b9f\u306f\u79c1\u306f\u3061\u3087\u3063\u3068\u30c7\u30a3\u30ba\u30cb\u30fc\u304c\u82e6\u624b\u3067\u3059\u3002\u5e7c\u3044\u9803\u3088\u308a\u30af\u30de\u306e\u306c\u3044\u3050\u308b\u307f\u304c\u5927\u597d\u304d\u306a\u306e\u3067\u3001\u30c7\u30a3\u30ba\u30cb\u30fc\u3067\u552f\u4e00\u597d\u304d\u306a\u30ad\u30e3\u30e9\u30af\u30bf\u30fc\u306f\u30c0\u30c3\u30d5\u30a3\u30fc\u3067\u3059\u3002\u30c7\u30a3\u30ba\u30cb\u30fc\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9\u3082\u30c7\u30a3\u30ba\u30cb\u30fc\u30b7\u30fc\u3082\u3042\u307e\u308a\u8208\u5473\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u304c\u3001\u81ea\u5206\u304c\u7d4c\u9a13\u3057\u3066\u3044\u306a\u3044\u3082\u306e\u3092\u4e00\u65b9\u7684\u306b\u6279\u5224\u3059\u308b\u306e\u306f\u597d\u304d\u3067\u306f\u306a\u3044\u306e\u3067\u884c\u3063\u3066\u307f\u308b\u3068\u3001\u4e88\u60f3\u4ee5\u4e0a\u306b\u9ad8\u63da\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u81ea\u5206\u306b\u9a5a\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002\u305f\u3073\u305f\u3073\u884c\u3053\u3046\u3068\u306f\u601d\u3044\u307e\u305b\u3093\u304c\u3001\u591a\u304f\u306e\u4eba\u3092\u9b45\u4e86\u3059\u308b\u7406\u7531\u306f\u5206\u304b\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002\u6642\u9593\u306b\u8ffd\u308f\u308c\u308b\u7169\u96d1\u306a\u65e5\u3005\u3092\u5fd8\u308c\u3055\u305b\u3066\u304f\u308c\u308b\u5922\u306e\u56fd\u304c\u3001\u6700\u3082\u5149\u308a\u8f1d\u304f\u306e\u306f\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u30b7\u30fc\u30ba\u30f3\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u30022011\u5e74\uff08\u5e73\u621023\u5e74\uff0912\u6708\u3001\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u30c7\u30a3\u30ba\u30cb\u30fc\u30b7\u30fc\u3092\u8a2a\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u52c9\u5f37\u306b\u660e\u3051\u66ae\u308c\u308b\u5b66\u751f\u751f\u6d3b\u306e\u4e2d\u3067\u4e00\u6642\u3001\u6c17\u306e\u7f6e\u3051\u306a\u3044\u4ef2\u9593\u3068\u697d\u3057\u304f\u904e\u3054\u305b\u305f\u3088\u3046\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I am not a big fan of Disney. I have loved teddy bears since I was a child, so the only character that I like among Disney\u2019s is Duffy. I am not so interested in either Disneyland or DisneySea, but I don\u2019t like to criticize unilaterally what I have never experienced, so I went there and was surprised to find myself more excited than I had expected. I don\u2019t think I will often visit them, but I came to understand why so many people have been fascinated by them. The dreamlands where people can forget busy troublesome daily lives may be the most brilliant in the Christmas season. In December 2011 (Heisei 23rd yr), my son visited DisneySea. He seemed to have a great time with his close friends for a short time while he was studying very hard every day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3513\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3513\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3513\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20130212finland.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20130212finland.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20130212finland-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20130212finland-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u30b9\u30a8\u30fc\u30c7\u30f3\u306e\u5927\u5b66\u75c5\u9662\u3067\u7814\u4fee\u4e2d\u3060\u3063\u305f\u606f\u5b50\u304c\u3001\u4f11\u6687\u3092\u5229\u7528\u3057\u3066\u30b9\u30a8\u30fc\u30c7\u30f3\u56fd\u5185\u3084\u8fd1\u96a3\u8af8\u56fd\u3092\u6642\u3005\u65c5\u884c\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30d5\u30a3\u30f3\u30e9\u30f3\u30c9\u306e\u30ed\u30f4\u30a1\u30cb\u30a8\u30df\u5e02\u306b\u3042\u308b\u30b5\u30f3\u30bf\u30af\u30ed\u30fc\u30b9\u6751\u3078\u3082\u8a2a\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u96ea\u306b\u767d\u3044\u30c8\u30ca\u30ab\u30a4\u306e\u5f15\u304f\u30bd\u30ea\u306f\u606f\u5b50\u30682\u5339\u306e\u72ac\u3092\u4e57\u305b\u3066\u3001\u767d\u9280\u306e\u68ee\u306e\u4e2d\u306e\u4e00\u672c\u9053\u3092\u3086\u3063\u304f\u308a\u9032\u3093\u3067\u3044\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5c0f\u67c4\u3067\u7ae5\u9854\u306e\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u5e74\u9f62\u3088\u308a\u82e5\u304f\u307f\u3048\u305f\u306e\u3067\u3057\u3087\u3046\u304b\u3001\u30b5\u30f3\u30bf\u30af\u30ed\u30fc\u30b9\u306f\u5e7c\u3044\u5b50\u4f9b\u306b\u63a5\u3059\u308b\u3088\u3046\u306b\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u982c\u3092\u512a\u3057\u304f\u3064\u306d\u3063\u305f\u308a\u62b1\u304d\u5bc4\u305b\u305f\u308a\u3057\u305f\u5f8c\u3001\u30c8\u30ca\u30ab\u30a4\u306e\u306c\u3044\u3050\u308b\u307f\u3092\u30d7\u30ec\u30bc\u30f3\u30c8\u3057\u3066\u304f\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u6751\u5185\u306b\u3042\u308b\u90f5\u4fbf\u5c40\u3067\u606f\u5b50\u304c\u7533\u3057\u8fbc\u3093\u3067\u304f\u308c\u305f\u30b5\u30f3\u30bf\u30af\u30ed\u30fc\u30b9\u304b\u3089\u306e\u624b\u7d19\u304c\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306e\u5c11\u3057\u524d\u306b\u5c4a\u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n<p>While my son was training at the hospital in Sweden, he sometimes travelled around Sweden and some neighboring countries for his holidays. He also visited Santa Claus\u2019 Village in Rovaniemi City in Finland. The sledge which carried my son and two dogs was slowly pulled by a snowy white reindeer along the road in the woods. My son seemingly looked younger to Santa Claus because of his boyish-looking face and a rather small stature. Santa Claus gently pinched my son on his cheek, hugged him like a small boy and gave him a Christmas present, a stuffed reindeer. Several days before Christmas, I received a Christmas card from Santa Claus which my son ordered at the post office in the village.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3514\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3514\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3514\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20131219taka.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20131219taka.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20131219taka-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20131219taka-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3515\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3515\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3515\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20141220taka.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20141220taka.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20141220taka-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20141220taka-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u6b27\u7c73\u3067\u306e\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u306e\u904e\u3054\u3057\u65b9\u306f\u3001\u30ad\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u6559\u5f92\u306f\u6559\u4f1a\u3078\u884c\u304d\u3001\u81ea\u5b85\u3067\u5bb6\u65cf\u3068\u3068\u3082\u306b\u904e\u3054\u3059\u306e\u304c\u4e00\u822c\u7684\u3067\u3059\u3002\u3057\u304b\u3057\u65e5\u672c\u3067\u306f\u3001\u6700\u3082\u5bb6\u65cf\u3068\u904e\u3054\u3059\u3053\u3068\u304c\u591a\u3044\u306e\u306f\u304a\u6b63\u6708\u3067\u3059\u3002\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u3092\u5bb6\u65cf\u3068\u8fce\u3048\u308b\u4eba\u3082\u3044\u307e\u3059\u304c\u3001\u7279\u306b\u82e5\u3044\u4eba\u9054\u306f\u604b\u4eba\u3068\u30c7\u30fc\u30c8\u3057\u305f\u308a\u3001\u53cb\u4eba\u3068\u904a\u3073\u306b\u884c\u3063\u305f\u308a\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3082\u3088\u304f\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002\u6211\u304c\u5bb6\u3067\u3082\u3057\u3070\u3057\u3070\u53cb\u4eba\u3092\u62db\u3044\u3066\u3001\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u30d1\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30fc\u3092\u958b\u304d\u307e\u3059\u300212\u670824\u65e5\u308425\u65e5\u3088\u308a\u3001\u6570\u65e5\u524d\u306e\u9031\u672b\u306b\u96c6\u307e\u3063\u3066\u304a\u6599\u7406\u3084\u304a\u9152\u3092\u697d\u3057\u3080\u3053\u3068\u304c\u591a\u3044\u3067\u3059\u3002\u304a\u6599\u7406\u597d\u304d\u306e\u606f\u5b50\u304c\u53cb\u4eba\u306e\u305f\u3081\u306b\u8155\u306b\u3088\u308a\u3092\u304b\u3051\u3066\u6599\u7406\u3092\u4f5c\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3082\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002\u305d\u3093\u306a\u6642\u3001\u5fc5\u305a\u4f5c\u308b\u306e\u304c\u5f7c\u306e\u7956\u6bcd\u306e\u30ec\u30b7\u30d4\u306e\u30ed\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30c1\u30ad\u30f3\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Europeans and Americans commonly spend their Christmas holidays with their family and Christians naturally go to church. However, in Japan the biggest family time is New Year\u2019s Day. Japanese also spend Christmas time with their family but often go out with their sweethearts or friends, especially young people. In our case, we often invite our friends to our Christmas parties. We usually gather together not on December 24th or 25th but several days before Christmas and enjoy food and drink. My son likes cooking very much and sometimes puts all his cooking skills to entertain his friends. He always makes the roast chicken from his grandmother\u2019s recipe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/?attachment_id=3516\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3516\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3516\" src=\"http:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20171218.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20171218.jpg 404w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20171218-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/azuregns.com\/year\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/xmas20171218-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2017\u5e74\uff08\u5e73\u621029\u5e74\uff09\u306f\u53ef\u611b\u3044\u9ad8\u6821\u751f\u306e\u7686\u3055\u3093\u304c\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u30d1\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30fc\u306b\u53c2\u52a0\u3057\u3066\u304f\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30de\u30b9\u30bd\u30f3\u30b0\u3092BGM\u306b\u304a\u6599\u7406\u3084\u30b1\u30fc\u30ad\u3092\u98df\u3079\u305f\u308a\u3001\u30d3\u30f3\u30b4\u3084\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3092\u3057\u305f\u308a\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5143\u6c17\u306a\u7b11\u3044\u58f0\u304c\u5bb6\u4e2d\u306b\u5e83\u304c\u308a\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u592b\u5a66\u3082\u82e5\u8fd4\u3063\u305f\u3088\u3046\u306a\u6c17\u5206\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u7686\u3055\u3093\u306b\u697d\u3057\u3093\u3067\u3044\u305f\u3060\u3051\u305f\u3088\u3046\u3067\u826f\u304b\u3063\u305f\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n<p>In 2017 (Heisei 29th yr), cute high school students joined our Christmas party.
