In Japan New Year お正月(oshogatsu) is the biggest celebration in a year.
Before new year comes, we clean the whole house, decorate the gate and rooms with special ornaments, and prepare the special food called "おせち料理(osechi-ryori)" seasonal food.
We usually eat "お雑煮(ozoni)" rice cake soup and drink the spiced sake called "お屠蘇(otoso)."
Children look forward the new year because they will get money so-called "お年玉(otoshidama)."
We greet by saying "新年明けましておめでとうございます(shinnen akemashite omedeto gozaimasu)" which means "A Happy New Year!"
