もういくつ寝ると...

How many more nights will I sleep...

It's time to start hearing songs like that.


The other day, I went to the local supermarket with my kids.

Normally I would go straight to the sweets section, but

For some reason, I made a mad dash to the kagami-mochi corner.

At this time of year, special New Year corners are set up at all supermarkets.

For some reason, my son keeps holding Kagami-mochi in his hands.

“I want this~” he said with an obsession I had never shown before.

What is a child?

I don't know much about it, but kagami mochi seems to be all the rage right now.

Even when I asked him why, he just said he wanted it anyway.

If I say I won't buy something because I won't be in Hiroshima for New Year's, I'll give up.

When I get to my new house (I'll be spending this year in Fukuoka), I'll buy kagami mochi...

Well, that's true, I hope everyone has a fun New Year's Day!!
