Differebce of Christmas


1. Introduction
I examined about “Difference of how of the United State and Japan to spend Christmas”. I used Internet to examine it. First, I examined that what kind of present to whom by method you gave at Christmas. And, I examined the decoration of the tree and the dish at Christmas.
2. In Japan
In general, one present a person is gotten in Japan. And, the person is put on the bedside in the home where a small child. However, there are a lot of people who hand the person. The decoration of the tree is same in United State. Japanese home do not concern themselves with the dish. In general, we eat hum or chicken. Recently, we drink no alcohol champagne. Children can drink it. And, the period of Christmas ends when December 24 and December 25 pass in Japan. Japanese spend with friends or boyfriend or girlfriend.
3. In United State
There a lot of people who get a lot of present. Present numbers do not decide in United State. A lot of family gets a present and children get a present which another person’s present. Homemakers wrap a lot of utensils and put it by December 25 under the tree. For example, she put sock, underwear, kitchen’s supply and bath towel. They open the present in December 25 in general. They go home to see their parents and spend with family in Christmas. They think that Christmas is an important day when spending with their family and the god is blest. A lot of shops close in December 25. A lot of children go the movie theater, so a lot of theaters are crowded. There are some companies of the rest since the Christmas Eve, too. “After Christmas sale” is a day at the time of which it is crowded most in on the year because they can buy low cost. They buy next year’s wrapping paper or tree’s light. So they prepare next Christmas. They decorate their house or tree and put big socks. A lot of family gather and eat dinner together. However, they go to the Mass of the church before that. Decoration of tree is same Japan. In general, the meal is hum or chicken. Recently they eat turkey and sutafing in Thanksgiving on November. So the family who eats ham is more than the family who eats the chicken. They garnish slicing cranberry, yam, potato salad or macaroni salad. Children drink eggnog which for sale the season. There is no rule because there is a difference in various homes. In America, it becomes the period of Christmas from the end of the Thanksgiving to coming of January.
But there are some similarity between Japan and United State. This is the situation of the street. Both streets are illuminated. It is very beautiful. There is a big tree in downtown. And they hold lighting ceremony. The half of the ordinary family decorate house’s exterior in Christmas styles. A point different from Japan is that we often see angel’s
decoration. They put a angel’s decoration on top of tree.

4. Conclusion
How of Japan and the United States to spend Christmas looks like. But Japanese is imitation United State’s spending Christmas. So Japan’s spending is some difference. Japan is imitation anything. For example, Japanese color their hair because of they are imitation American. A lot of Japanese hair is blown.
I think that a lot of Japanese have not personality. Japanese like to be imitation. Japanese do not understand real meaning. Because Japanese is imitation by halves, they do not understand. Japanese should understand real meaning. So Japanese is seen no personality. Japanese do not understand Christmas real meaning or why decoration the tree.
A lot of Japanese are believer Buddhism. However, a lot of Japanese regard Christmas as a special day. It is not inconsistent. Why do Japanese regard Christmas as a special day. Why do they celebrate Christmas. If they understood that Christmas is the birthday of Christ, they will be interested in Christmas. Japanese like congratulation’s day. They do not understand real meaning, so they selebrate Christmas. For example, Saint Valentine’s Day is difference. Girls get across boyfriend or lover chocolate in Japan. But foreigners are difference. For them, it is not necessarily lovers that give the chocolate. I thought that we must give lovers the chocolate. When I knew that real meaning, I was surprised very much. We should know real meaning. So we do not celebrate Christmas or Saint Valentine’s Day.

Hanayori Dango

His mother disagree them because Makino was so poor. His mother tried to prevented from the love. Makino and Tsukasa did not lose the obstacle. They decided to merry.But they was stolen the important family treasure. They took a trip to regain the family treasure. They made sure love in each other traveling. So they could marry safely.

The drama started broadcasting when I was 16 years old. Then the drama was very popular, too. There is no way that setting but, the drama’s audience rating always was very high. My friends watched it so, we talked about the drama next day in school. I liked Hanazawa Rui. He is cool and shy. He loved Makino on secret but, he yielded to Tsukasa. He has loved her yet so, he always helped her. I respect him. He know that Rui and Makino can not be connected. Rui copperates them. If I was him, I can not do such a thing. He has real pure hart.

Coming of age ceremony


The coming of age ceremony and senior high school’s alumni meeting held on January 3th.
My local is so countryside that they are held early. I do the dressing for the coming of age ceremony to get up early. I did not feel hungry so, I did not something. When I dressed my long-sleeved kimono, I felt ill. And I did not eat enough because of gastroentereritrs. I endured to eat or drink while I dressed my long-sleeved kimono.

First I went to my grandmother’s house to show my Sunday best clothes. My grandmother was surprised very much and cried and pleased. My old-sleeved kimono is my mother hand-me-down. It was happy for my grandmother that I dressed it. I dressed it because I like it. An another my grandparents were happy, too. They were happy because I grown up without incident. They said to my “I thought that you are child yet”. I listened this speech, I laughed unconsciously. I must appreciate them.

Because the coming of age ceremony starts at 1:00, I went to the city hall quickly. I met my friends and enter the hall. I was very excited because I met friends a long time. All of my classmates changed, so I did not understand my classmates. My homeroom teachers came it. So I yearn for them. The coming of age ceremony finished about 30 minutes. After the ceremony, I took a lot of pictures. I was satisfied with them.

I went to the salon to set my hair again for senior high school’s alumni meeting. Junior high school’s alumni meeting and senior high school’s alumni meeting conspired same day. Because I like senior high school, I went to senior high school’s alumni meeting. i worn my party dress and made up and went to the hotel. When I arrived there, I was glad to meet my friends. Eighty percent alumnus attend this alumni meeting. Teachers were surprised because they see the fact. Teachers said to us “there was nothing that Tamana high school alumni meeting attend such a lot of alumnus. We have good alumnus.” I thought that all of alumnus have high consciousness and like Tamana high school. If alumnus did not like alma mater, they would not attend the alumni meeting. I was very happy very much so, I have a lively conversation. But I did not drink alcoholic drink. My homeroom teacher attends the alumni meeting, too. She came with her baby. Her baby is very small and little. The baby was born last month. There was a English teacher that I wanted to meet for a long tome. But the English teacher did not attend the alumni meeting yesterday. Thanks to the English teacher, I could pass Kumamoto Gakuen University. So I want to say my gratitude for my English teacher. I found something of a disappointment.

I talked with my classmates for a long time. For example, we talked about university, part-time job, school life or each boy friend. Finally, we sang school song. Old physical education chairperson directed the school song. I remembered it yet, so I was surprised.
After the alumni meeting, I went to post-party party with my friends. We was very hungry, so we order hors d’oeuver. And we talked midnight.

I was glad to meet my classmates. January 3th was the best day for me. I had a good time.(565words)

The party was funny. I love my friends very much. I want to hold the party again. (170words)

Next day is Christmas. I went Fukuoka with my boy friend as a date. I woke up early to set my hair, make up and get dressed. I looked forward to very much, so we had not seen for a long time. He met me at my home.

The sight made us pleasant. Next, we went to Marinoa city. There are a lot of shops. I wanted to there before. We ate lunch and did shopping. We bought pair ring. I had never had pair ring so, I was very happy. And, we ridden a Ferris wheel. My weak point is high place so, I did not want to ride it. I was dragged out it. But the view is beautiful. Next, we went to Tenzin to buy my friend’s birthday present and see illumination. The illumination is beautiful. I had never seen such a illumination. I glad to see it and come with my boy friend. I want to go there with him. When we rided his car, I gave him Christmas present. Because I prepared Christmas present in secret, he was surprised.
