In Japan, we have three major events in winter: Christmas, New Year's Holidays
and Coming-of-Age Day. On Christmas, we eat Christmas cake and look forward
to receiving presents from Santa Claus. We eat mochi (rice cake) and receive New Year's gift. People who became 20 years old
go to the Coming-of-Age Day celebration.
We are Making Christmas Cake Now.
