My Family Tradition


Today, I will talk about my family.

 

First of all, I will introduce family member. My father is 47 years old. My mother is 38 years old. They have a job. And, I have two younger sisters and one younger brother. Two sisters are twins and 16 years old. They are high school students. One brother is 12 years old. He is elementary school child. Also, we have cats. They are very cute, but often do bad things. So my mother often get angry with cats.

 

When I was in elementary school or junior high school, my family often went to Izumo in Shimane prefecture. It was boring to me. Also, because my home is near the sea, we often went to the sea to swim or fish. But since I entered this university, I could not spend with my family in spite of living together. This is why I have part time job. When I back to my home, they prepare to go to bed. So I often eat dinner alone.

 

My family goes for a visit to a grave by all means in the whole family on New Year holidays and a tray and an anniversary of a death from old days.

 

Our relatives often come together at my grandmother’s house. Because our relatives lives near each other. Particularly we surely come together in New Year’s Day and the Bon festival and the anniversary of a person’s death. This time, we eat lunch or dinner with a lot of .relatives. And I can play with cousins after a long absence. When we gathered on a normal holiday, we go for shopping together. Because we can gather immediately if there is anything, I rarely feel it to be lonely. Also, we go to watch Kagura and eat dinner together when a festival is held in the area with the house of grandmother.

 

We don’t have any family rules. So I can’t write anything.

 
Thank you for reading!

  1. Hi, Kao.
    I understand the university thing. There's just not enough time to do all the things we were able to do before college started. I can also understand the part time job situation, but that's just how it is in the real world. It's nice to see that even though you can't spend much time with your family, you all still come together to celebrate events throughout the year as a whole family, and that is pretty cool.

  2. Hi Kao! Time definitely flies when you are busy working or studying. I cannot see my family when I am studying, only on breaks. I live 2700 miles away from my home. I admit I miss home sometimes. My family is not the type to get together all the time. My Japanese relatives like to try meet during the end of the year before new year's to make mochi. I love it with kinako peanut butter inside. I do not really have any family rules either, except doing chores before going out with friends.

  3. In high school, when I had a part time job, I would come home at 10pm. My family enjoys watching tv together. But when I came home they would go to bed and I would be watching TV all alone! I wish my extended family lived close, but they don't. You are very lucky to live so close to your family!
