The ring represents 108 elements of Bono (stimulus) which causes people to act unhealthy. In most cities and urban areas of Japan, activities such as concerts, countdowns and fireworks are frequently performed on New Year's Eve celebrations. In Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing in Shibuya and Zojoji in the harbor, the most crowded festivals were held twice. We gathered around Zojoji to release the helium balloon, greet the New Year's greeting in the sky, see the lights of Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Sky Tree, and display the era on the observatory at midnight.

On New Year 's Eve, we decided to spend the night at a place we share our friends. As usual, when the watch rings twelve times, one kisses and the other drinks. After a while, we all are talking about each other's lives. Until a while ago, when we were going to high school together, we rarely shared ourselves - we know little about each other's lives. But now as we each learn from various universities throughout the country, our busy schedules and rare conferences give everyone a myriad of memories of many sharing and collective memories.

We will put a Christmas tree at our home in our first year. In the coming years, we have a reason not to do this: it was the year that we spent Christmas with our parents, the year when we spent Christmas and Christmas Eve, we used the repairing her parents A part on the artificial tree to do. Trees, we will be very busy. So we got an advent calendar. Last year I bought a new artificial tree at Christmas. A large box with old decorations came out of the cellar, and Deb took a couple of days to examine the huge number we had and choose which to hang. I am also very happy to have a tree in the house. But there are wood without mom and dad to share it (Dad passed in 2010, Mama in 2016)
