There is a custom to send New Year's cards, such as acquaintances or people who became indebted to the previous year in the New Year. I got many New Year's card. I send it to my host family in Minnesota. I sent New Year's cards to my friend so they'll arrive on January 1^st. My grandmother tells me “Online Christmas and New Year's cards, just don't cut it.” I think so too. Habit is eliminated to send New Year’s card because diffusion of cell-phones. In particular, younger people don’t send New Year’s card because they send massage used mobile. In addition, the person who first met the New Year, when the greeting "Happy New Year" and is often exchanged. Japanese younger people often says “Akeome, Kotoyoro!” I liked New Year ’s Day. However, not really now. Why? Because I can’t get New Year's gift money. Adult person give money to children at New Year's. I gave money to my nephew. The experience teaches one a renewed recognition of I became an adult. I had a good time New Year’s Day.
