The book I read was about a family during the winter holidays in Japan. The family went shopping for presents and then made cards to send and give to people and then they ate dinner together. Then, the went to their grandparents house and gave the cards to their family. Then, the family ate and drank sake. Finally, they go to a shrine where they ring the bell and get fortunes (?) the daughter liked hers and kept it but the son didn’t like his and he tied it to leave at the temple. I think the beginning of the story is very similar to how we start our holidays. Many people here don’t hand make Christmas cards, but sending Christmas cards of your family is pretty common. We also often go to our grandparents houses here for the holidays and eat and drink. The major difference between our holidays and their holidays are the religious practices. Like there, it’s pretty common to go to temples but here most of us will go to church for Christmas since Christianity is the most common religion
