New year Card
In December I sent almost 30 New year Cards to my relatives, former colleagues, bosses and school friends.
Most of them are living far away from Osaka. Since writing New Years Cards each year is getting kind of formality, I find it a little sick and tired.
Therefore I made up my mind to skip them at the age of 70.
Three years to go. So I wrote this time rather politely in favor of receivers' taste.
For instance, Tanaka-kun, my best friend at elementary school.
"Please take a good picture and upload it on Facebook and let me enjoy it."
Mr. Takahashi, my former boss at Teijin.
"Come to think of it, you were the coolest boss and best boss I reported to."
Ms.Muto, a female employee at Teijin and used to sit beside me in the office.
"The reason I take part in English Class is to prevent me from getting senile."
I wrote all the cards with my hand on the front side and the flip side as well.
On the 1st of January I receive 10 New Year Cards. I was surprised to see that 80% of them were printed.
On the flip side some of them wrote a couple of line with their hands. I was glad to know how they have been doing lately. For example, Mr. Koizumi, my former boss at Teijin Amoco wrote that he attended a Christmas Party at Otsu Japan-German-Society. I also take part in a discussion session at Kobe Japan-Germany- Society.
Ms Muto wrote to me, "It's a shame you couldn't come to Teijin Reunion Meeting last September. But I wish you good luck."
All in all I enjoyed reading New Year Cards and thought it twice.
New year card is a good way to nurture friendship and a good Japanese traditional custom.
