Christmas Eve, Tokyo

My 14-year old son called me on my mobile at 4PM today, the Christ­mas Eve.  “Mom, we want to eat fried chicken from the Ken­tucky Fried Chicken tonight.  You know it’s Christ­mas Eve!”

I was def­i­nitely not enthu­si­as­tic.  I knew there was going to be a queue.  I mean, you should order ahead of time for that.  And since I was brought up in the US, eat­ing stuff from the Ken­tucky Fried Chicken just doesn’t FEEL right.

But this is Japan.  My kids grew up in Japan.  And it’s impor­tant for them to cel­e­brate the Christ­mas eat­ing Ken­tucky Fried Chicken and Christ­mas cake like many other peo­ple do here.
