We usually eat Christmas cake and broiled chicken.
In Japan Christmas isn't special but New Year is.
We see the first sunrise of and pray a visit to a shrine on New Year's Day.
I wish you a happy New Year!!

In New Year day, we spend with our family and relatives.
We have toshikoshisoba .
That is buckwheat noodles eaten on New Year's Eve
Then we go to temple and wish about family, happy, health, etc.
And some people does omikuji.
Omikuji tells our fortune.

In Japan,christmas holiday isn't as important as all that.
We don't spend with our families.
But,New year's Day is special.
That day, families gather.
We pay a visit to a shrine on New Year's day.
After that, we eat traditional foods, Zouni and osechi.
Children get New Year's gift.
