Happy Holidays from us to you!
It’s December 25 today, so we’ll be stepping away from our desks and putting down our writing equipment to celebrate Christmas in true Japanese style – by taking a stroll under some gorgeous illuminations and feasting on fried chicken and festive Final Fantasy cakes.
As we take the day off to spend time with friends and family, we’ll also be raising a glass of Christmas cake-flavoured Pepsi to you, our dedicated readers, for being the best group of loyal supporters Mr Sato and our team could ever wish for!
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, we’d like to wish each and every one of you a great day filled with happiness, joy and lots of laughs. And rest assured, we’ll be back at work tomorrow, bringing you all the weird and wonderful news from Asia as we count down the days until the New Year.
So have a great day, thanks for stopping by our humble site, and Happy Holidays from the entire SoraNews24 team!
