That's right! [ Tee hee~ ] I think people like celebrating New Years, no matter where they're from...
[ Open the flood gates of excitable tl;dr~! ] Oh we do lots of things! We dress in our best kimono to go pray at the temple to thank the gods for a new year and wish for a great one to come; we get our fortunes told -- I didn't get a very nice one last time eheh...
Then we get food 'cause there are LOTS of booths lined up on that day! We play games too! For others, kids visit relatives and they get money from their parents and grandparents! And oh!
[ An important detail! ] That's when we all celebrate our birthdays together!
