A New Year's Cards

In Japan, there is a custom that a New Year's cards are sent each other.
I wrote a New Year's cards to my relatives and friends yesterday.
A postcard like a lower picture.

A postcard with a lot number is used much. Japan Post office issues it.
This lot is called a new year's gift "Otoshidama". When being elected, it can be exchanged for a free gift. This is one of the pleasure of the new year.

I introduce web site about a New Year's cards.
