Hello, everyone!! Today, I will investigate the differences between how to spend New Year’s Eve and how to spend Christmas between England and Japan. When I think of Christmas, I have an image of England. I think Christmas is something special. I will write about them in detail. Enjoy reading until the end.
New year’s in Britain
Britain is over Christmas and today is New Year’s Eve, which is called “New Year’s Eve” in Britain, but New Year’s Eve in Britain is a party day for the British.
Fireworks go up
Celebrate New Year’s Eve in England, where London’s fireworks add to the countdown. Christmas is a day for the family, but this day is a party with friends! They just alcohol.
How to spend New Year’s Eve
British people usually go to work on New Year’s Eve. Preparing for Christmas is so busy that when Christmas is over, the British aren’t particularly prepared for New Year.
New year’s in Japan
In Japan, the last day of the year, December 31, is called “New Year’s Eve.”
In Japan, it is customary to prepare for the New Year by New Year’s Eve and thank them for successfully completing the year.
Eat toshikoshi soba
Japanese people have a habit of eating “Toshikoshi soba” on New Year’s Eve to carry the luck of the New Year. There are various names depending on the region. Since soba is thin and long, it has become possible to eat it in the hope of longevity and health so that the family can continue to be connected.
Soba noodles are easy to cut, so it makes sense to eat them to cut off the disaster of the year.
Eat osechi
There are some areas where it is customary to eat New Year’s Eve during the New Year’s Eve.
Osechi cuisine is a custom of thanking the god of the year for the safety of the year, offering it to welcome the god, and eating the same food with the family.
The main set is luxuriously served with white rice and soup, a large bowl, chawanmushi, and side dishes such as kazunoko, namasu, rice field making, and black beans.
I also definitely eat New Year’s Eve and sukiyaki every year. I enjoy eating gorgeous food once a year.
Ring the bell
Many temples ring the joya no kane from New Year’s Eve to 12:00 am. Joya no kane rings the bell 108 times. Ring the bell 107 times on New Year’s Eve, and the other one after the new year. The meaning of ringing the bell is to look back on the year.
🎄 Christmas in Britain 🎄
Christmas in England is like New Year in Japan. I spend more time with my family than with my family, at my relatives’ house, or as a couple.
Christmas market
There are many Christmas markets and events. Birmingham Christmas Markets have events all over the place. Christmas events are held not only in the Christmas markets in cities, but also in small towns and villages.
Christmas dish
roast
Speaking of Christmas, the image is that roasted turkey is a staple.
However, it doesn’t have to be turkey, and it varies from year to year, such as chicken, pork, and roast beef.
Yorkshire pudding
Yorkshire pudding is like a fluffy cream puff and is eaten with gravy as a side dish to roast dishes.
Christmas pudding
Eat Christmas pudding for dessert.
Christmas pudding is like a steamed cake made by kneading dried fruits and brandy into the dough, which is a traditional food for Christmas in England.
Christmas in Japan
Go to see the illumination
Illuminations, the royal road for Christmas dates. If you’re on a date with someone who is a royal road but loves you, you can enjoy the romantic atmosphere to the fullest.
You can enjoy it just by looking around the usual illuminated cityscape, or take a video or photo with the illuminations in the background as a memorial.
🎁 Exchange gift 🎁
Christmas is a gift exchange. You can liven up Christmas just by exchanging gifts with your lover or friends.
Conclusion
It turned out that there are differences in how to spend Christmas and New Year’s Eve between Japan and the United Kingdom.
My annual pleasure is New Year’s Eve. I was happy to eat a lot of New Year dishes and sukiyaki this year as well.
Thank you for reading!!🥰
