Happy holidays!
Circular fileIn the spirit of the holidays, we're letting eight-year-old Kimi Rutledge create today's blog entry — the photo of the tree is by her as well. Take it away, Kimi.
Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! I took this picture just for Chin Music Press (and the readers of the book too). I hope your Christmas is one of the best days of your life! (Well, it is to me!) Kuhaku would be a perfect gift, well, at least for someone who could read! Well, happy holidays and I hope you get great gifts! ( I hope that I get great gifts too.) ;) Have a great weekend! :-)
Nice job, Kimi.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Thanks for the nice message, Kimi! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Please say hello to Kate and Kenzo for me. Philo and Chiyo are pretty excited because they got scooters from their grandma. They tried them out yesterday and had a lot of fun. Did you get anything special for Christmas?
Take care,
David

Hey Kimi! Nice job on the blog entry - I loved your note in the Christmas card! I hope you liked the comic book. I just finished a book about a girl who plays the violin, it was pretty cool ( and different). When I get back from visiting family in Portland this week, I'll send it your way!
Take care..................
PS. I got so many cool books for Christmas - it rocked!

Merry Christmas everybody. Kuhaku was definitely my favorite gift this year, I can't wait to see what else you do.
