Christmas party

Today was the Christmas party at Zenrinkan.

Once all the guests had arrived we had a Christmas service. Afterwards, the guests ate Christmas food from England and America and tried mulled wine. It was the first time for many people to try traditional English Christmas cake, which is made from a fruit cake base, very different to the Japanese Christmas cake. While they ate and drank, they heard performances from the children's classes and the niko-harp class.

The tables each competed in a Christmas multiple-choice quiz. Questions included "In which country was Christmas made illegal?", "Which was the first US state to make Christmas a public holiday?" and "What is the Christmas club?".
After the quiz, we had more singing and some dancing from the Hawaiian dance group.The staff all performed in a Christmas skit and we finished with the Christmas carol singing class.
