A little resort town

I'm sitting here under our stockings hanging by the window, ready to be filled with Christmas goodies. In my Under Armour Cold Gear by the cozy heater than brings such warmth after standing in the bitter cold for a few hours. And enjoying popcorn, chocolate-covered raisins, and gingerbread cookies. It almost feels like Christmas with our fresh greens collected from the forest this afternoon and the Christmas lights hanging in the window. This little cabin in the forest is so quaint. It's small and cozy and perfect for a Christmas holiday.

Today was slightly more laid back in some ways, but my body is crying out for a day of being an introvert. Since it is Christmas break and one of the goals of any break is rest and rejuvenation, I'm actually going to listen to that plea and stay home most of tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed exploring Karuizawa today searching to waterfall and mountain lookouts- we did not find either, but had a pleasant winter walk anyway. It even snowed about 10 flakes :) It was a great day for sharing together and breaking bread together. It ended with singing Christmas carols on the Singing Christmas Tree at Megumi Chalet and passing out tracts to arriving visitors. Tonight I'm grateful for warmth and rest!

Thanks for reading! I'm really trying to give everyone something to read about. Until next time....
