The Christmas Party!

We just arrived home from our Christmas Party at MIA (work). There were about 50 or so people there, a good number for a party and much more manageable than the Halloween party with about 100! Joey played Santa Claus most of the time, the kids even had their picture taken sitting on his lap.
There were a few games, a room for making Christmas origami and a short Christmas video for everyone. (Charlie Brown's Christmas, dubbed into Japanese). The highlight of the party though was an actual nativity play, put on by the kids in the Afterschool class on Tuesdays and Fridays. Their towel costumes were adorable and since many of them had never even heard the story before we just had them walk up to the stage while Fumiyo (our boss) read the story from the Bible (in Japanese). They were adorable! especially our little shepherd. I think this was his first play! Go Callan! Fumiyo even explained a little more about Christmas and who Jesus Christ is.
Joey the Santa Claus handed out presents at the end (handfuls of candy) and everyone went home happy ( I think!!).
