Hello
My name is Nao Adamson.
I am a Japanese essayist writing about
international marriage with my English husband.
It is getting colder and colder in Niigata
and we had a snowy day last weekend. 
How is the weather in your hometown?
Well, it is in the beginning of December
which is Christmas season, isn't it? 
I am not a Christian but since my darling
is an English man, we usually decorate
a Christmas tree around this season.
This is our Christmas tree of this year.

My husband displayed it in the living room.
I made some snowflakes.

They look lovely but easy to make.
If you would like to make them,
please have a look at the following site.

Although it is very cold outside,
when we see Christmas decorations,
we somehow feel heart-warming, don't we? 
My darling made roast chicken for dinner last weekend.
That also looks Christmasy, doesn't it?

When do you usually decorate a Christmas tree?
