December is coming! I love December because it includes my birthday, Christmas, and the end of the year. I will turn 20 on December 17th, and I still can’t believe it. In my mind, I still feel 18. In Japan, turning 20 means I can legally drink alcohol, but of course I need to be careful and responsible. One day, I really want to visit a Christmas market in Germany. I have been studying German at university for a year and a half, and I’ve learned about the Christmas markets, so I’d love to see one in real life. At the end of the year, I will go back to my hometown. I can meet my family and my old friends, and I can eat many delicious foods. I will eat osechi, crab, and sushi. I will probably gain some weight, but I don’t mind because eating good food with my family makes me very happy. I will also see my old friends at the Coming of Age Ceremony. In Japan, most girls wear a long-sleeved kimono for the event. I want to see everyone’s kimono. Mine is blue, and my best friend’s kimono is yellow with a beautiful, cute design. I have to take photos with them. I also want to show my kimono to my grandmother. She played with me a lot when I was little, and I love her very much. Showing her my long-sleeved kimono is one of my dreams.
