This year for New Years, we are having my Dad and Tami, since the rest of our families are busy. I was trying to think of what we should do. Then I started thinking of when we were little and how we would celebrate in
We would go to a big parade...where they dressed up in very traditional Japanese clothes and played music and banged on big drums, which as a kid sort of frightened me a bit.
We always ate traditional Japanese soup, called Udon. Mmmm...so yummy.
Then we would watch TV, where we would watch an old history series that was on at that time of year. And of course, the temple priests banging the big bells in the temples...people would actually watch this. (I looked up, and they hit them 108 times)
So, in thinking of Japan and the olden days, we are going to have Udon and good old Japanese fare. (I'll bet your glad you're not coming to our house).
Hope you have a wonderful New Year celebration and a fabulous New Year in 2011!
So, grab your loved ones...
open a bottle of champagne...
Get your party gear...
And have a Happy New Year's Celebration!
