About 6 hours to 2007.

2006 is leaving and 2007 is coming.

People are preparing for 2007 and Kadomatsu is one of Japanese decorations in a New Year.

Good year, good health
time passes, the years slip by. When a new year starts, one always wonders if it will bring peace and happiness to each one… Close the eyes and make a wish!

明けましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしく。

We forgot to ask Mom to send us some Omochi this year, so we welcomed the new year with Okonomi Yaki - it was actually quite good! I hope 2007 is as picturesque as was 2006.
