New Years

Hello, everyone! Jeffy and I were kind of talking… Oh! Jeffy is my stuffed teddy bear!

[Sae exclaims as she realizes many people won’t know who Jeffy is. She even sits him up at this time so the camera can get a better look at him. ]

I… well, I guess I was the one doing all of the talking! [Giggle.] But, I was just wondering how do you celebrate the New Year here?
There are so many worlds. Does the year change on different days for each of them? Will there be fireworks? What about resolutions, do you still do those here?

I resolve to focus on my schoolwork more, even is I am not always good at tests, and make much more of an effort to learn more about my magic!
What about you?

In my world, you could say we have two New Year's celebrations. One is according to the calendar used most commonly, and one is according to the lunar calendar that was traditional in my country for many centuries.

[Hi there, Sae! Ami's happy to touch base.]

Two? Oh! That's right! You are from Japan too, right? Then New Year's should be about the same for us!

[Hello! Sae is thrilled to hear from you again! ]

That's right. We probably have many similar traditions, too, regarding celebrating it.

Usually where I was from, we'd celebrate the New Year by having a big party where people would gather to have fun, eat and count down to the new year.

We usually do something like that too! My friends and I sit around kotatsu and watch the New Year's programing on TV.
I already have plans for the New Year too! I'm going to get up early so I can see the first sunrise over the ocean!

That sounds beautiful, but I don't think I'd be able to do something like that. You must really like the sunrise?

Fireworks? Resolutions? What's all that about?

You don't know?

When the year ends we usually throw a party, see fireworks, or watch New Year's shows on TV. The resolutions are things we decide we will try to be better at next year. Like... getting better grades or going on a diet.

Well we didn't really do a lot of holiday stuff where I come from... [He might be from this universe, but he doesn't know a lot of "usual" stuff because of the rather isolationist world he is from.] I haven't really heard of most of these holidays.

Where I come from the New Year is celebrated when spring starts.

Is the coming of a new year important?
