December/January Family Prize Quiz

Kari Bennett has won this month's Family Prize Quiz!

She will be receiving the following fabulous items:

A small assortment of Japanese snacks (OK, so one of them is a chupa chup sucker, but it was sold in Japan, and has Japanese characters on it)...plus, any interesting items we happen to pick up between now and when we send it.
