Happy New Year!

New Year, The Netherlands, while a legal holiday, is celebrated quietly and socially, rather than publicly. It is observed in much the same manner as in old New York. There is much family visiting and paying of calls, partaking of refreshment, and wishing of "Happy New Year." Their compliments are of the same nature as ours, and are given and received as pleasantly and heartily.

Happy New Year to you and your family!  How do you celebrate New Year's Eve and New Year's Day?

    No different than any other day for me.

      Almost true for me, too. I am on vacation, though, so I went and had Panda Express for lunch. So there's that!

    I was in bed last night by 10:15. Today I'm heading over to my friend's house to spend the day with her family and ozoni. It'll be interesting to try someone else's recipe... since this is the first time trying anyone else's other than my mom's.

      I was up late, but I have no TV, so I didn't watch the ball drop or anything like that. Actually, no ball here in Japan, but NHK televises a temple's ceremony that starts at midnight. I happened to look at the clock right at midnight so I made a Facebook post.

      I've never had ozoni, or any form of osechi. Maybe some day I will. Enjoy! (Or, I hope you enjoyed.)

      I need to see the new Star Wars. It's about time that I watched all of the old ones, too.
