Christmas Mochiyori Party
I've finally uploaded all the pictures from the Christmas and New Years holidays, so here are some images to go along with my last post. These are from the Christmas party we had with some neighbors and friends in the community center that is part of the apartment complex we live in. Even though I didn't have a big American style Christmas celebration with lots of family like we usually have in the U.S., it was kind of like we created a big family with neighbors and friends of all ages coming together to celebrate, so it was really nice.

| We all helped decorate the community center to make it more festive for the occasion. |
 |
| We even had a little fiber optic Christmas tree that my host mom borrowed from a friend. |
 |
| Everyone brought a different dish to share at the mochiyori, or potluck party. I made eggnog (my first attempt!), which turned out pretty well and was something new for everyone. |
 |
| My host sister made this cake in the shape of a yule tide log. |
 |
| Christmas chicken |
 |
| After dinner, the kids took turns trying to break a makeshift piñata made from rolled up newspaper and tape. It worked though (proof below)! |
 |
| Ame! (Candy!) |
 |
| The balloon decorations also doubled as a really great toy. |
