日本語は英語の後に続きます。Japanese follows.

One weekend, I got up early and went on

a field trip to the Ota Flower Market. 

Chirstmas is just around the corner, so

there were many beautiful red and white

poinsettias, and very large mistletoe I had

never seen.

I got Christmas and New Year goods and

made Christmas wreath with the help of

a flower arrangement teacher.  It was

completed early, so I arranged the New

Year’s decorations I got in the morning

and tried to make a swag that can be

used from Chirstmas to New Year.

For the New Year’s decorations, I added

Oregon fir, Juniper, silver berzelia, and a white pine

cone, and it was done in no time!  I also

had a Christmas version of “Hakuroho

(Japanese wagashi sweets)” with a bowl

of matcha.
