Here is your pretty for mid week !

Best  Christmas Tree ever.
I love the upside down name.
.
One of her Dad's photos will be on the "Today Show" on the 10:30 segment,
On December 24.
I have no idea why or how they found it ?
I don't watch the "Today Show"  so I have no idea what this is about.
The photo is of people lined up to get KFC in Japan for Christmas.
Christmas has no real religious meaning in Japan.
But to make a long story short....
Around 1970, a customer remarked that a land free of a turkey for a celebration dinner 
fried chicken was the next best thing.
KFC heard this and ran away with it.
"Kurisumasu ni wa kentakii" or Kentucky for Christmas. 
The popularity of American culture at that time plus a huge KFC
campaign has made this a fun tradition. 
You will see lines outside every KFC  
complete with a statue of Colonel Sanders dresses as Santa.
Colonel Santa !

Merry Christmas, everyone.
cheers,  gayle and thehamish

    I love the Christmas tree with the hand prints Parsnip,
    I also love the photos of the Hamish as he looks so perky and well. Hope his health is good in 2016;

    The Hamish is looking particularly elegant. Our daughter had told us about Kentucky Fried for Christmas. She and her friends had it for Thanksgiving.

    Merry Christmas, dear friend and the hamish! Your card was so lovely it almost brought tears to my eyes. My Christmas tree has a new ornament. Expect a late arrival from yours truly. Merry Christmas, Gayle.

    thehamish is looking super handsome and very regal! Love the bandana, so adorable :-)
    The hand print tree is very unique and beautiful! Love it very much. I can't remember if we had KFC for Christmas when I lived in Japan (our town might not have KFC nearby) but I do remember fried chicken was often served on Christmas :-)

    Merry Christmas and have a wonderful holiday!!
