We stick to the Japanese custom to send New Year's cards rather than Christmas cards. As New Year's cards in Japan traditionally arrive on January 1, the date is already 2007. In the past couple of years I have always used photos of the kids for the New Year's card, because they change the most within one year. Although the photos for the card were taken in December, they do not look very winterly at all. This time, I also did a second version.

We will go to Upper Austria during the holidays so my uploads and comments will become a bit unregular. See you again in 2007!

I would like to thank all of you for another year of support and inspiraion. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
