2019年1月1日 Japan
May this be a happy and fruitful year.
Thank you for all last year.
My personal decisions and promises to myself for this year are :
☆ travel to some foreign countries
☆ learn more intensive and master some foreign languages
☆ less smoking
New Near day is the most important day for us .So usually we take vacation from the end of December to the first some days of January to spend time with family.
We visit shrines or temples during the first three days of January and we wish health, happiness, and so on. and buy omikuzi ( good luck charms) and Hamaya( sacred arrows) to invite good fortune .
It is fun to donate some money in a donation box.
We eat New year dishes that are specially prepared to be eaten during the first three days of January.
We decorate the front door of houses, shops, company buildings with a pair of pine branches and bamboo. Itsymolizes long life, prosperity and purity.
children receive gifts of money from parents , adult relatives such as uncles, aunts and grandparents.
Children generally use the money to buy the toys they want.
