We had a typical Canadian Christmas.
This year I got two Mennonite summer sausages, so that was extra special!
Santa embedded presents deep behind the tree, which a small elf had to extract.
Traditional Christmas alpaca finger puppets.
Traditional Christmas Burmese lacquerware.
We listened to traditional Christmas music.
And contributed to important Christmas skills like eating with chopsticks.
Here are some of our traditional Christmas treats. Do you prefer tomato chocolate, above, or miso-ramen chocolate, below?
A traditional Japanese Mexican meal of taco rice is best followed by sweet potato Kit Kat.
Or perhaps Crunky Ball. I think you can't go wrong with Crunky Ball, really.
Then, as per the tradition, jet lag and the cold caught up with us as shown.
Luckily, Santa made us some turkey soup to heat up at our hotel.
Dressing in white (dust).
Above, the seller of bags, below, Bengaluru Santa, I think.
We found the blanket-selling doggy to be cute.
The shirt below says "Riding Racoon", which I didn't originally notice since the chicken looked so delicious.
This seemed less delicious.
In Bangalore, you can buy the best pens in the world, it's amazing!

Barry gave this a "Thums Up"!
One way travel is by gender-segregated dump truck.

The large glass snowmen wish you happy holidays.
It was also Barry's birthday, so we had burgers at our new favourite place.
Since Santa is coming, we took appropriate hygienic measures.
Since Barry's joints have aged prematurely due to overuse in triathlons but he's still a masochist, we now have to design our own. Above, Barry is shown waking up at 5:30am. Below, phase 1.
Home-grown triathlons are conveniently located.
Barry was very lucky - he came in first place!
And won the prize! It was a clock radio, go figure!

There were also spice mix-up hazards.

Barry got a little too into it.
Then we had an 80's flashback moment.
It's known for its wineries.
Cool wedding band - better than Barry on the drums.
The above wins the best Christmas Engrish award this year. Let us examine it more closely.
