Happy Holidays from us to you!
It’s Christmas Day in Japan today, and while that doesn’t mean we get to enjoy a public holiday, it does mean we get to enjoy Christmas Tree Frappuccinos and fried chicken , all to the tune of “Joy to The World”, sung by Toad from Super Mario.
As we take the day off to spend time with friends and family, we’d like to take this opportunity raise a Christmas Cake Frappuccino to all of you, our brilliant readers, and thank you for all your comments and support over the year.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, we wish each and every one of you a great day filled with happiness, joy and lots of laughter. And rest assured, we’ll be back at work tomorrow, bringing you all the weird and wonderful news from Japan 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!
