This year's lucky bag from Marukai.




This year's take includes dessicant for the shoes in the closet, shaving cream, two kinds of waterproofing for your shoes, moisturizer, measure spoons, a calculator, a loofa, a Japanese bath towel, four placemats, shower soap (two kinds), a tea and cup set (rustic, hand-built-like) and FM/AM transistor radio (BONG).

It also includes a complete set of baby dishes (a cosmic hint?) and some storage items.

But this year, they had a line snaking around the building for this thing - you could only get one bag of either kind (non-food or food - this is a non-food bag, natch) - and the cost was only $20, but you had to have cash.

They sold out in an hour. Next year, I get there earlier! But note - little old Japanese people are frightening on New Years Day. Frightening, I tell you.

Welcome to 2005 - so far, so good.

And now, we pack up Christmas and put it away until next year.

Is it just me or does everything seem more practical and useful and well, less *weird* than last time you did this?

I still can't read much of the labeling - and I only got the one bag this year, vs. the four last year.

And a whole lot of that loot went into the box for [livejournal.com profile] happyworld's fire box. What a year it's been!

And I have to say, we really LOVE that stuff. We had our soup from lunch today in those mugs! *^_^*

You are rock-some!

*blushes* Aw, gee. Thanks.

Three house fires here - I know how much getting some "nice" things to replace what was lost can mean. Coming up on a year now, aren't you?

You're getting there. But Jim will need some height adjustments. :)
