1, My family went to grandparent’s home on New Year’s Day. My older sister, younger sister and I played with my cousin’s children. They were very cheerful. Therefore we were very tired, but we enjoyed very much. Then, I ate “osechi” and a lot of rice cakes. Also, I got a lot of New Year’s cards from my friends, juniors and teachers. I was very happy. I had a great holiday.
