Hello!!
How do you spend New Year Holidays?
People pray for safety, health and good fortune.
How do you spend New Year Holidays? I went to a temple and ate a traditional food(osechi).
January 1st to 3rd are called "Shogatsu" in Japan.
January 1st is called "Gantan" and is a Japanese national holiday.It is traditional for Japanese people to visit to a shrine or temple during New year Holidays.
People pray for safety, health and good fortune.The first visit to a temple or shrine in a year is called "Hatsumode".
What kind of New Year Holidays will you spend in the world?
Do you know it?
For example Korea.
Like many other Asian countries, Korea has two different New Year's days according to solar and lunar calendars. 
The more widely preferred one is the lunar New Year's day, called So-nal.
Sol-nal is a day for the whole family's reunion and for refreshing everyone's common life at the very beginning of a year.
The day has many special meanings and events.
On the morning of Sol-nal, everyone dresses in specially prepared, traditional clothes (usually new and fresh).
Generally, these clothes are decorated with five colors. They are called Sol-bim.
World New Year Holidays are very various.
So it is very interesting to me.
