    If we can just get people to stop killing each other in the name of
    religion, maybe we will have peace.

Well, he didn't say which holidays, so it's hard to respond.

109.9"Christmas Cakes"OSOSPS::KAGEYAMATrust, but VerifyTue Dec 19 1995 19:1712
Shopping bonds will be presented to all Digital Japan employees at the 
end of this week. It worth 2,500 yen($25) and can be used in Fuji-ya, a
maijor confectionery chain in Japan. I think we are supposed to buy so
called "Christmas Cakes" with them. We've not been given them for these
two years because of compay's rstructuring.

I bought new shoes for my son, one year and two month old. We invite my
parents and celebrate Christmas Eve around the Christmas tree, though we
are not Christians. Anyway it's a Japanese custom.

    That's ok - the "Christmas Tree" isn't really Christian - it's pagan.

Kazunori-san,


Thanks for sharing !


Hey, one reply out of twelve actually answered the question !

o.k.  I'll try to make it 2:

	Tonight I may visit my father for dinner in Newton.  He likes
	company especially since my mom died in Oct.

	Tomorrow morning I'll go to my spiritual (12-step) meeting, then
	have lunch with friends.

	Maybe x-country skiing Sat. afternoon.

	Probably play on the computer Sat. night.

	Christmas eve I've been invited to a friend's parents house.

	Monday I don't know yet.
