Too much delicious food

I hadn’t returned my hometown for 6 years for New Year’s holidays because airline tickets during the holidays are very expensive. However I decided to go my parents house with my wife this year. It was the first time for her to spend “Oshogatsu” in Saga. She was looking forward to. So I bought discount tickets, it still cost 100, 000 Yen in all.

My parents were excited that we were coming for New Year. We ate and drunk a lot everyday from December 29 when we arrived at Saga to January 3 when returned to Tokyo. We ate a lot of things like oysters, crabs, turban shells and sashimi. My wife doesn’t eat so much and what’s more she and her family don’t have custom of drinking everyday even during New Year’s holiday. However my parents said to her “Don’t hold back! Please eat and drink as much as you want”. Actually, she didn’t want to eat any more, but forced herself to eat much more to meet their expectations. The food was good, but there was too much to eat.

Of course we gained weight. We had a lot of delicious food and we ere very tired.
