| Praying at our local shrine, New Year's |
public holiday. We celebrate with family in my grandparents' house, because we want to enjoy the start of the year together.
People eat 'osechi' on New Year's Day too. It's a special meal with different foods, and each dish has a meaning. For example, black beans mean good health, and sweetened fish cake means a long life.
New Year's festival is important in Japan because it brings families together to share special wished for health & happiness.
