Christmas cards from one of my first grade classes

I was pretty amazed by these cards-the pictures are great, and the writing (in Japanese AND English) is wonderful! Most of the cards say "Merry Christmas, Robert Sensei" and the student's name, but others have longer messages. The larger images have some examples; two cards have similar messages, "thank you for Monday's English class-I will do my best!". Another says, "Merry Christmas! Happy Year of the Rabbit!" and one other says, "Christmas is fun, isn't it?" I actually read most of the Japanese on my own, and was so excited that I said to Nozomi, "I can read! I can read!" (First graders' writing is about my reading level...)
I really like the free mixing of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, the year of the rabbit, and Pokemon characters.
If I don't get a chance to post again before:  MERRY CHRISTMAS! Happy birthday, Jesus!
