I went shopping in Harajuku during the break. But I did not buy anything. also I had my birthday during the break. I went to Odaiba with friends on my birthday and It was very happy. It enhanced it very much though the winter break was short.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR
January 1st is Japanese New Year's Day.
There are manners of dusting it at the New Year of Japan. People eat special dishes called Osechi and rice cake soup called Zoni. I like this dishes very much.
We have a custom to send New Year's cards to relatives and friends. Many people think receiving greeting cards is one of the best pleasures of the holiday.
Children are given some money as New Year's gift. But I was not able to get it so much.
On New Year's Day people have their first visit of the year to a shrine or temple. As many as three million people visit places such as Meiji Shrine in Tokyo and Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine in Osaka. Businesses and government and municipal offices remain closed until the third of January. New Year is a time when families get together. Sons and daughters who have married and left home return to their ancestral homes with their children. Family groups making their first pilgrimage of the year to a shrine are a common sight throughout Japan at this time.
Moreover, when Japan becomes a New Year, we have a geat sale at any shopping places I shopped in the morning.
The photograph is Rice cake offering.
