Nativity

Another in the random photo series. I have to get straight back to work that has to be sent in tomorrow. As you can tell, Christmas is a bit of a non event in Japan.
The soil in our field is not up to this kind of stuff, but there are kind people about that drop their own hard won produce off for us every now and then. The long fat chap is a Daikon and the little stubby fellows are Kabu. Brothers in the radish family. A nice bit of verdure in the home, like a winter harvest festival.
Not all suffering with work, I am only forced to do this late because I was skiving off watching a movie with the rest of the family. Very 80's love romance number and the closing musical lyrics had something about finding the new Jerusalem. How wonderful a thing that would be, not all laying claim to the same bit of privet.
Better yet, if we all had our own individual walled cities that nobody else could possibly lay claim to. Of course that is how we are born into the world and how we leave it, but in between there is a lot of nasty argy bargy for so many of us.
So, on this seventh Christmas eve in the new millennium and with a lovely moon shining in the sky I wish each and every one of us our own different Jerusalem to enjoy in peace.
