So Christmas Eve has come again on lunar calendar, lead by that celestial beauty. She shines in early morning these days, seems to watch gently over Mei-Shun. The latter saw nice numbers on a scale after dancing with Mr. Marumorita last evening: a few bags of sugar, alcohol and new-year feasts have gone. Now she would prepare for a petite party on Saturday when Shin returns from Kyoto.
Here Princess Cymby would arrive. Mei-Shun’s orchid ladies including this Highness and Mademoiselle Vert kindly bloom on happy anniversaries; Children’s Day, Christmas Eve/Day, her birthday, etc. That is because you bring Mikan-chan within each flower — is mom right, honey? Since coming 23rd and 24th mean above 2nds on lunar calendar, bright yellow in her eyes would return.
… lessons Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun should have taken, yet gave them up. Slight rain from late last night gently moisturized our garden, while continued for too long a time to let them get on Ms. Scarlet. They therefore stayed home, sang “L’harmonie des Anges” composed by Master Burgmüller with Ms. Piano. Oh, such an opportunity taught her a little mistake in 2 serial notes.
Mei-Shun received a frozen one from sister-in-law via mom the same last year, to celebrate new year. Since Shin does not so much like it, the wife decided to dine on it during his business trip to Portugal. Hmm, tastes quite good while gives joy of scraping out whole meats from leg shells. By the way, why a shelf within her refrigerator Ms. Cuby has a puddle?
A weather forecaster told us this morning that sunrise delayed the most at 6 : 51 on January 13th, birthday of Mei-Shun. Sunset got the earliest at 16 : 28 on December 12th last year, he said. The shortest daytime comes on 冬至=toji, the 4th of winter 二十四節気 on December 21st; seems to include both of above, yet actually does not. Longer days makes it easier to start anyway.
This is the day for me and mom to visit “Arles”. However, we already did it with dad driving Ms. Scarlet on Monday, picked up a Galette des Rois as mom’s birthday cake. We enjoy it, yet nobody has won a fève so far. That is why I wear a golden crown as a temporary queen who reign our family. On the other paw of mine, he departs for Portugal from tonight.

Shin went out for business early this morning. Mei-Shun drove him toward the nearest station, found 小望月=14th moon in western sky. They saw her in the east last night, shining above gift flowers — meaning both ends of 花鳥風月. And the 1st, 2025 full moon is expected tonight. Called Wolf Moon, she has already become perfectly round at 7 : 27 while invisible among sunlight.
Please take the warmest acknowledgement from Mei-Shun to Shin, Mikan-chan, mother, mom-in-law, sister Y and Professor M. She would try more in 2025, make herself worthy of your gentle hearts.
Yes, Mei-Shun’s elder sister Y loves them these days. M-chan, her daughter put on the same one at a coming-of-age ceremony as her mother and aunt did. Actually, it descended from youngest aunt of the latter sisters on their father’s side. Perhaps moved by such a story between a mother and a daughter, she gave them others. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, allergy still prevents younger sister and aunty from any.
Here is current image of Princess Cymby. Two sister flower buds opened each shell, changed shape from peas. As Mei-Shun mentioned before, this Highness experienced no blossom last season; she stayed indoors all through summer 2023, lacked enough sunlight to flourish in winter. Such an apparent attitude might give growers a kind of confidence in what to do.
