Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of you! ^^
🥳
If you are reading this, welcome to 2025! Woohoo!
New Years is a time of celebration all around the world, and it is no different in the UK.

🎇A lot of people work on New Years Eve, so we always look forward to a festive party at home or somewhere with friends. We gather together with our loved ones, eating lots of finger foods, playing board games, card games, listening to music and getting ready to count down to midnight.
London has some of the best New Year light shows, fireworks and street parties that you can find.
If you can't go there in person, then we usually watch it on TV during our parties at home.

🎡 We shout the big countdown "TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE, HAPPY NEW YEAR!".
London's skies will fill up with lights, fireworks will shoot up from boats on the River Thames and our large wheel, the London Eye, will shine bright and shoot more fireworks. The Big Ben bell in London will chime and DING DONG through the city as everyone cheers 🔔 It is common for us all to give a kiss to someone we love at midnight, to give luck and fortune for year.

🌟 On New Years Day, January 1st, each area of the UK likes to do something a little different.
Some areas like to go swimming in the sea, some like to go walking through the forest, some areas will go bird watching, and sometimes you might even see people doing a triathlon on New Years Day!

In Canada, New Years is a grand celebration! Students tend to be off school starting from a couple days before Christmas and will return a couple days after New Years. This break, usually called Christmas/New Years Vacation, is a time when many people enjoy making special dinners, creating New Year's resolutions, and lighting fire works and sparklers.

🍲It is common to have dinner parties or potlucks and bond over yummy food. At these parties, people like to spend time with each other to celebrate the year that has passed, the accomplishments one has achieved, and share well wishes for the upcoming year. Common Christmas foods include ham and mashed potatoes. Popular Christmas sweets include gingerbread houses/gingerbread men and eggnog. Kids enjoy decorating gingerbread houses and gingerbread men with candy, chocolate, and frosting, then eating it all when it's done!

📋The break from work and school offers the perfect opportunity to spend time with friends and family who many might not have had the opportunity to meet with due to busy schedules. It is also a great time to reflect upon the year that has passed, and to create a list of goals for the upcoming year. These goals, called New Year's Resolutions, help people plan on ways to grow and improve themselves. These goals can encompass a wide range of topics, from personal growth, educational growth, or career growth. For example, many people will have plans to exercise more, get accepted into a good university, or get a promotion from work. What will be on your New Year's resolution list for 2025?

🎆Lasty, we can't forget the fireworks! Many cities hold firework shows for people to enjoy at parks or large open areas. Even though it is very cold (and very snowy!), people like bundling up in many layers and bringing blankets and chairs to sit outside with friends and family to enjoy the fireworks. Usually there is a big countdown, counting down the seconds until it hits 12:00AM on January 1st. Right as the new year arrives, the firework show will start! On a smaller scale, some people also enjoy lighting sparklers or smaller fireworks from their backyards! This beautiful display is the perfect way to welcome the New Year!

🌸２０２５年　はじまりましたね！！🌸
今日のスクーニュースではお正月の英語を学びましょう✍

日本ではお正月と言えばのこんなものあんなもの・・をリストアップしてみました♪
レッスンは1月6日（月）からですのでそれまでにちょこっと学習しちゃいましょう！！

🌸初詣・・と言えば神社は　shrine！そして初詣に行くを英語でいうと、
”First visit of the year to a shrine.

🌸おせち料理・・おせち料理は日本独特の食べ物のため、　"Osechi Ryouri" とそのまま訳すこともあります。
外国人の方々に伝えるときには　"Traditional　New Year's food" というとわかりやすいですね♪
またおせちには中に重箱だけでなく一つ一つ入れるものにも意味が込められていますよね。
ほんの一部を英語で考えてみましょう！
重箱には幸せ、よきことが重なっていきます様に・・という願いがあります。（諸説あり）

🌸栗きんとん・・Kurikinton has a golden color. So it means raising money luck.
🌸黒豆・・Black soybeans are eaten with the hope that their work and studies will go well.
