Happy New Year, everyone! Who all's planning to stay up the night to greet the new year properly?
What does everyone do in their world to celebrate the new year? Or I guess your culture, since even in my world, it depended on where you lived. What my family did back home was usually a big shrine visit for the new year. It's usually pretty crowded at this time of year, since everyone else is doing the same thing, but isn't that part of the fun in being there? They also let you pull some fortunes to see your luck for the upcoming year. There are lots of traditional foods to be eaten at this time of year, too.
Oh, it doesn't end there, either! We have a tradition where you can predict your luck for the year by the first dream you have in the new year, too! If you dream of Mt. Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant, the year will be really lucky for you! ...Though a lot of people won't know what I'm talking about if I say Mt. Fuji...
[Uzuki claps her hands a little here.]
Then, an inactive volcano! I think the meaning goes something like... The volcano symbolizes safety, the hawk symbolizes reaching a great height, and the eggplant symbolizes achieving something great?
Well, I haven't seen any of them in a dream, myself... I once had a dream about a sparrow eating rice on a hill, though!
Then, I guess I have two questions for everyone, along with what you do where you're from for the new year! It would be great if people can come back to this later and say what they dreamed for the first dream of the new year, too!
