Every year, our routine is about the same for New Years' Eve and New Years' Day, too. Because I am married to a Japanese woman, and have lived here for some time, I spend New Years' Eve and Day like most Japanese do, watching TV, and eating and drinking much more than I should.
And like the Japanese, I have recently been visiting Shinto Shrines on January 1st. Of course, I don't go to seek the favor of the god the shrines claim to host, I go for pictures. Oh, and I do pray while I am there, for those who have come to pray will someday, somehow, meet the One who actually hears and can answer.
The Year of the Mouse...2008...
In His Grip,
Kevin
