On behalf of the JREF team I would like to wish you and your beloved ones a Merry Christmas (or season's greetings, whichever you prefer) and a Happy New Year!
Let us know how you spend the holidays. I have my family here on a 3-week visit, which translates into a lot of sightseeing. It's however tremendously interesting to rediscover Japan by seeing the country through their eyes (my mother's here for the first time).
With Christmas dinner over, and before my blatant overindulgence takes its toll, I would like to wish you all the best!
メリークリスマス!
