It wasn't quite the right day (December 24th) and there were a few key things missing (stuffing, Christmas pudding, post-meal TV) but we managed to put together something closely resembling a Christmas dinner. Again, I was there, but don't have pictures featuring me yet.
Look what Santa brought - reunited with a couple of old friends (ok, I found them at the Carrefour...)
That's chicken, not turkey, but still - two kinds of mash (mustard and nutmeg, and plain, since you ask. Yes, I did, since you ask...), veg, sweet potato, ham... not bad at all
We weren't sure what this stuff was, but with some cornflour and the juices from the supermarket chickens stirred in - gravy! Almost!

I don't know what the Japanese for 'a safe bet' is...
