More Merriment

 My Thursday morning class had our annual Christmas party a few weeks ago. We had lunch and a gift exchange at the Officer's Club.

My favorite part of Japanese parties is the schedule. I haven't been to a party yet where there wasn't a schedule. At this particular lunch the schedule was as follows:
              11:15-12:15 or so: Lunch time ("and of course, talking and talking, that's most important")
              12:15-12:30: Introductions
              12:30-1:10: Gift Exchange
              1:10: Sing Christmas Carols
              1:20: Group Photo

The schedule was explained when everyone arrived and the class leader was keeping track of the schedule. I love it! I guess it makes it easy and no one has time to be bored.

They are a fun class and a few friends got to come as well, including Glenn. That's new!
