1)I spent January 1st sleeping and watching TV. Because,In Japan,many people crowd at somewhere. I hate the crowd. Japanese people have a custom of going to the shrine. People wish for a good year. And this year I didn’t eat Ozoni. I don’t know why Japanese people eat Ozoni at a new year. There are many kinds of food in Ozoni; carrot and rice cake and so on.
