The New Year







It is different between Japanese New Year and Chinese New Year . The Japanese celebrate New year's Day on January 1 each year . Japanese people eat a special selection of dishes during the New Year celebration called osechi-ryon . On New Year's Day , Japanese people have custom of giving money to children . This is know as otoshidama . The amount of money given depends on the age of the child but is usually the same if there is more than one child . The end of December and the beginning of January are the busiest for the Japanese post offices . The Japanese have a custom of sending Christmas cards .

But in Chinese New Year , there hasn't so many habbits and the Chinese celebrate New Year's Day on February 14 this year . On New Year's Day , Chinese go out and have delicious meals with family . It is continues for about two weeks .

What a pleasant time on Japanese New Year and Chinese New Year !!
