Started the day off by making Weihnachtsplätzchen for the teachers and for my potluck Christmas party tomorrow. I borrowed Kevin’s extra toaster oven so it went a bit faster using two of them.

This evening, I attended a surprise birthday party in Takasaki for P. His girlfriend organized the whole thing. There were about 12 of us at his favorite restaurant Raku Raku. The food was amazing! We ordered a bunch of things to share at our table. I finally got to meet another one of the ALTs in Tomioka! K made a gluten free chocolate cake that was delicious. The owners know P pretty well as they go there a lot, but they’re also the parents of his students. He got presented with a bottle of his favorite sake. What a fun evening!
