☆New Year's card☆

Hello, everyone!!

Today, I'd like to introduce traditional Japanese custom at this time!!
Do you know "年賀状"(ねんがじょう)?
It's Japanese New Year's card!!
We celebrate new year,
express our gratitude to people who are familiar with us,
and send our greetings to them on it!!

Look at this picture!!


Right hand side is face and left hand side is reverse!!
On the face, we write friend's addresses on the right side and write thier names in the middle of the card.
And also we write our addresses and names on the left hand side!!
On the reverse, we can draw pictures, write messages, post pictures of families, characters or the twelve zodiac sighns in Chinese astrology!!

This year, my family made these cards!!

We make and post New Year's cards before coming new year,
and receive ones from friends on New Year's Day!!
I always look forward to receiving New Year's cards,
because they make me happy, and bring me up to date on what my friends are into lately!!
In addition, sometimes, New Year's cards are sent by old friends or people who we don't expected!!
Then, we are always surprised and happy!!
Do you send New year's cards to your friends??
I'm really looking forward to receiving New Year's cards!!
See you!!
