At the end of school term Hannah's school held a 'Happy Holidays' concert for the proud parents.
Hannahs class sang 'We wish you a merry christmas' and 'Santa claus is coming to town' which they had been practicing hard. Well done little seals!
The proud parents enjoyed the show through their viewfinders
Then the children received presents from Santa (or 'Father Holidays' as he is now officially known).
Hannah received a book 'playful penguins' which we still read occasionally.
Finally the seals orange class assembled in their classroom and said goodbye for the term.
(The newspaper covers the spot where Hannah's classmate was sick. The teachers just covered it up, carried on and nobody noticed. Very cool and professional).
Christmas shopping in Shinjuku. Mummys love shopping and so does Santa.
Hannah got a little upset when we chose a nice watch for her - but then refused to buy it.
Even santa gets tired of christmas shopping sometimes.
But a little something from Old McDonalds soon has Santa back on the sleigh .
One of the highlights of christmas - christmas cake.
You can see one of Hannah's presents from father christmas - a Hello Kitty watch. Remarkably like the one she wanted in Shinjuku but her mean parents had refused to buy.
