    To solve this problem the government decided that the New Year period would, from 1662, end on January 7th. Kagami-biraki could thus safely be held on the 11th.
    Many places in west Japan, including the capital, ignored the new edicts and stuck to the original date.

      🎍SAYING GOODBYE TO THE NEW YEAR🤔

      In many countries Christmas decorations are taken down on the 12th day of Christmas (January 6th), also known as Epiphany. To keep them up any longer is nowadays considered bad luck.
      But what about Japan? Well, that depends where you live.

                  English-speaking New Year's parties in virtual worlds are weird for one reason: Not everyone is in the same timezone, so you're likely to have multiple New Year countdowns. Much unlike German-speaking New Year's parties where it's safe to assume that everyone's timezone is CET.

                      As I move into a new year, I want to adopt a post-position stance – how I get beyond post-postmodernism. The postmodern philosophers got a lot right, but they still got mired in positional warfare. It's a trap.

Also, it's worth noting that this hummingbird has two huge white puffs on his otherwise tiny feet. This is the male White-Booted Rackettail, and he appears to be flying away in the image.
