Christmas Eve

At first, we planned to go to "Thomas land", an amusement park of FujiKyu Highland Japan, on Christmas Eve. But it was cancelled because Mari got angry with Ken, who had been slow to eat his breakfast. Alternatively, we went to a shopping mall out of town.
This mall, opened last month, had many fancy shops. On the first floor, there was a pet shop with variety of fishes, birds, rabbits, and puppy dogs. These puppies were so cute and I understood why many people are fascinated with miniature dogs.
Next we went to a toy store on the 3rd floor. While Mari choosing a Christmas present, I went to play area with Ken. That was a pay area, so we returned to the toy section. She finished shopping and also bought a Nintendo DS Lite for herself.
After that, we came back home and had some sushi, fried chicken, salad, .. and an Australian Shiraz wine. And we ate a cake late at night.
The next morning, Ken found there was a Christmas present for him near his head. But he was displeased, because he had an acute otitis media too.
