おめでとうございます!
Happy New Year!

In Japan, New Years is much more celebrated than Christmas. A traditional way to celebrate New Years day is to send a 'nengajou' to just about everybody you know! A nengajou is a new years greeting card. Typically, a nengajou will contain the chinese zodiac animal of the new year, a new years message, and symbols of the coming spring such as cherry blossom flowers.

Above is my personally designed nengajou.

Have a great year everyone!
