Thanks to my dad's accumulation of frequent flyer mileage, we will be home for Christmas: a nice, long stay from 14 December to 6 January. Although I am not looking forward to travelling with the girls, I am looking forward to arriving and seeing my family again. I talk a big game, but I miss the family, what can I say.
And then we have to go back to Japan next year too. I guess we aren't that far away from places...
