Celebrating traditional Japanese New Years with family
I, naturally, because my parents were so much involved in the Japanese culture, because that’s their background, we really embraced the Japanese holidays and the celebrations. So for our family, New Year’s is a very important day with the celebration of the foods and everything and the family coming together. And even now for us, that’s the one day of the year where the entire family really tries to come back together to celebrate New Year’s. We all return home, and we get together for that. And so, those are kind of the things that, for us, have been really important.
