countdown to christmas #5 (sorry I'm late!)


Number 5:  Yotsuba!

Christmas-Worthy Quality: Joy

Why:  The sweet, silly, green-haired girl, Yotsuba, from Kiyohiko Azuma's "Yotsuba!&" is one of my all-time favorite characters.  Whether she's fishing, camping, riding her bike, taking pictures, attacking her neighbors with a squirt gun, or squaring off against her all-time nemesis, Yanda, Yotsuba is all the great things about kids in a nutshell--especially her unmatched enthusiasm for practically everything.  Wouldn't it be great if we took the motto of "Yotsuba!&"--"Enjoy Everything"--and applied it to our lives this Christmas?  Yotsuba's father once said that "She can find happiness anywhere".  I mean, you don't have to look to far--it could be under a rock or in a tree or in your local neighborhood.  Wherever she finds it, Yotsuba always makes the most of it, even if there are a few bumps along the way.
