    I don't / won't prepare any tsukimi dishes, but I do pick the kids up some tsukimi treats. Just yesterday I got some otsukimi rabbits in Kasho Umon in Kawagoe station (have just added a review for the shop!) And I'll buy some dango tomorrow to have on Tuesday. :-)

    I have to admit we often turn to fast food places to celebrate. There are usually variations of tsukimi burgers featuring eggs to represent the moon at chains like McDonalds (Burger King opts for pineapple), and sometimes they even have tsukimi-themed desserts. It might not be the most traditional route, but it's fun!

    @BigfamJapan I just read your review and will have a gander when I'm next in Kawagoe City. I visit a few times a year. Thanks always for your thorough coverage of Kawagoe's eats and sights!

    @genkidesu I get it, busy families are pressed for time when it comes to seasonal stuff. Okay, so I'm having a think now about traditional dishes I can make easily, and considering some fusion cuisine ideas to tell you about later...

    @TonetoEdo feel free to share if you have any good ones! I think the easiest recipe for me would just be satsumaimo gohan, which is a lot healthier than a burger ;)

    @genkidesu I'll make tsukimi fried rice tonight - chahan topped with a fried egg. I don't have a lot of imagination or appetite right now, but I figure that's in keeping with the tradition.

    @TonetoEdo oh that's a good one, and something my kids would enjoy, too! A good way to sneak some extra veggies into them!

"Pocket money" sites?

With Christmas under 100 days away, it's a time of year where I really try to increase any extra earnings I can make for my household -- obviously there's a lot more outgoing expenses for those of us that celebrate at the tail end of the year. Back when I was a university student in my home country, there were lots of different market research survey sites where you could earn a bit of extra cash and be paid either via direct deposit to your bank account or with gift cards for supermarkets and the like. Does anyone know of any similar sites like that here? Obviously I'm not expecting tons of cash from any of them, but hey -- anything extra helps!

Christmas/New Year travel spots?

I wrote a blog yesterday on how Tokyo was named the top-searched travel destination for Christmas and New Year's travel by Google for this year. I love Tokyo, of course, and it was my home for several years before moving to Niigata – but I wanted to ask the rest of you about your favorite domestic spots for the festive season. Any places that give you the warm and fuzzy Christmas feelings? Perhaps places with great Christmas markets, illuminations, or anything of that nature would be good suggestions. With so much focus on the big three (Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto) it would be great to get some recommendations outside those places if you have any!

Concert tickets?

Any tips on the where and how to of buying concert tickets? My eldest daughter really wants to go see Mrs Green Apple live at some point and I've never actually been to a concert here - well not that type of concert. And the only concerts I've looked up before are for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, because I knew exactly where and when that concert was going to be (ended up not buying, long story!) and that was a long time ago.
