The end of the year

  This year is about to end. The public office, such as
city hall is open until 28th December.
  In this season, people are very busy.
  In Japan, we have a custom of sending a post card,
called ''Nenga-jou''
to your friends, relatives, co-wokers, and so on at
the beginning of the year. It is a sort of greeting card.
 If your friend live outside  of your prefecture, you have
 to post your post cards until 25th so the cards arrive
on 1st January.
   It's good oppotunity to say hello to your friends
who you haven't talked to for a long time.
  There days, there are some TV shows that introduce
big news in this year.


  We say, ''Yoi otoshi wo!!(Have a good New Year)''
 when you say good-bye to someone.
