Merry Christmas 2009!

The Saito and Calugay families hosted everyone for Christmas dinner and there was lots of food, wine, and a new tradition of a gift exchange.

In the Flip you'll see these highlights:
* Toast to everyone's health!
* Japanese hibachi cooking
* Call out to Tetsuya
* Japanese-pronunciation of "vermouth" and how to drink a bottle of Jim Beam in one night
* New Jersey in the House??
* Exclusive one-night shakuhachi performance by Morimasa Horiuchi
* Yasushi held on to the "Snuggie" all night during a fairly decent amount of "stealing" in the Christmas gift exchange (Note: A snuggie is a blanket with sleeves so you can stay wrapped up and warm on the sofa yet still work the TV remote control). Are you using it Yas?
* Ryu's friend Amanda brought these home-baked Italian three-layered cookies and Auntie Eiko enjoyed them so much she very quickly wrapped up a few to take home in her "doggie bag"
