1. My family all stayed at home in Shiga. My brother came back from Tokyo for five days.
We ate “ozouni” and “osechi” on New Year’s Day. Those food was cooked by grandmother and I. I got some otoshidama. And, we went to Hiyoshi Shrine. It was really crowding. Then, we went to visit my grandfather grave to Kyoto. After, I and my brother watched “manzai” at TV. We like watching it. On January 2nd, I went part time job all day. I was job from January 2 to January 6. So, I was very tired. I wanted to the bargain.
