Family Holiday in Matsumoto
私達家族は毎年のクリスマス・イヴでどこか軽井沢とか安曇野などに出かけて、ちょっと買い物したりちょっと美味しい物を食べたり、ちょっとイルミネーションを観たりしている。
今年は皆で電車で松本まで出かけて行った。お互いに何のプレゼントなら喜ぶかと考えながらパルコや中町で買い物したり、町のイルミネーションを楽しんだり、別で紹介しますが美味しいお店で食べたり、そして最後は松本のカトリック教会でミサに行きました。
松本城の背景の良い家族のクリスマス・イヴとなりました。クリスマスの思い出を作りたい皆様に、お勧めです。
Our family's Christmas Eve tradition here in Nagano has been to take a trip together to Karuizawa or Azumino or somewhere to enjoy a bit of shopping, eat some yummy food, and take in the Christmas lights. This year, we took the train to Matsumoto for Christmas Eve.
While pondering what presents each of us would enjoy the most, we wandered around Parco and Nakamachi doing some shopping. Lots of stores were lit up for the holidays so we pranced around the glimmering lights. As I'll explain later, we found two excellent restaurants to treat ourselves to some culinary delights. And to top it off, we attended mass at the Matsumoto Catholic Church.
It was a Christmas Eve with Matsumoto Castle as the backdrop. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to make a memorable holiday experience.
