\"rice<\/a>
\nTwas the night before Christmas, when all through the house–
\nNothing was stirring, not even a mouse.
\nAnd just when even a mouse wouldn’t squeak,
\nThe Zojirushi products decided to speak!<\/p>\n

\"rice<\/a>The Rice Cooker<\/strong><\/a> said, “They can’t live without me.
\nRice is a staple, their dinners need me.
\nWhatever the side dish, whatever the soup,
\nYou need fluffy rice, to complete the group.”<\/p>\n

\"Honey<\/a>\u201cYou\u2019re wrong you know,\u201d the Breadmaker<\/strong><\/a> said.
\n“What staple is there, other than bread?
\nI can bake it fresh, and it smells so good,
\nTheir mornings are mine, that’s understood.”<\/p>\n

\"water<\/a>Wait just a minute. Wait for the spoiler!
\n\u201cThat’s not how this ends,\u201d chimed the Water Boiler.<\/strong><\/a>
\n“It all starts with water and I heat it with ease.
\nTea drinkers love me, everyone agrees.”<\/p>\n

\"shepherd's<\/a>\u201cSo what? Big deal.\u201d said the Toaster Oven.<\/strong><\/a>
\n\u201cI can toast bagels or an English muffin.
\nI can bake a cake or a whole lasagna
\nI\u2019m the one and only, I\u2019m tryin\u2019 to tell ya!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"insulated<\/a>“Ah, but here’s one thing that’s wrong with y\u2019all.
\nYou guys are stuck here, you’re plugged to the wall!\u201d
\nThe Stainless Mugs<\/strong><\/a> just started to smile;
\n\u201cWe\u2019re tall and sleek, we\u2019re a lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"miso<\/a>The Food Jars<\/strong><\/a>, they heard this discussion.
\nThey said, “We agree, we second that motion!
\nWe\u2019re essential, maybe the best of the bunch.
\nWithout us, how can you enjoy your lunch?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"flat<\/a>And that Gourmet<\/strong><\/a> guy, you know the one–
\nthat Tabletop Griddle who has all the fun.
\nThe life of the party, always looking so chic;
\nlet out a sigh and rose up to speak.<\/p>\n

“Hold it, listen you all. You’re missing the point!
\nIt’s not who’s great, or who rocks this joint.
\nWe all serve a purpose; we follow a plan.
\nWe make life easier whenever we can.<\/p>\n

We all love to cook, and that’s the truth.
\nWe satisfy cravings, or any sweet tooth.
\nSo let’s enjoy what we do–we are truly blessed.
\nIt’s not about skill, or who is the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

A sudden silence then came over the kitchen.
\nThe arguing stopped and they started to listen.
\nThe Zojirushi spirit is alive and well.
\n“He’s right, good point! They started to yell.”<\/p>\n

And so it was on that Holiday night,
\nwith the fire in embers and the stars out of sight,
\na commotion was settled, the rebellion rejected.
\nPeace came again, with the kitchen protected.<\/p>\n

Zojirushi products were once again quiet
\nThey knew better than to start a riot.
\nIt\u2019s so much better to give up the strife\u2014
\nthey started Treasuring Everyday Life.<\/strong><\/p>\n
