New Year (正月, shōgatsu) is the most important holiday in Japan. Most businesses shut down from January 1 to January 3, and families typically gather to spend the days together.

Years are traditionally viewed as completely separate, with each new year providing a fresh start. Consequently, all duties are supposed to be completed by the end of the year, while bonenkai parties ("year forgetting parties") are held with the purpose of leaving the old year's worries and troubles behind.

Homes and entrance gates are decorated with ornaments made of pine, bamboo and plum trees, and clothes and houses are cleaned.

On New Year's eve, toshikoshi soba (buckwheat noodles), symbolizing longevity, are served. A more recent custom is watching the music show "kohaku uta gassen", a highly popular television program featuring many of Japan's most famous J-pop and enka singers in spectacular performances.

苏南：大龙，谢谢你帮我搬家。

大龙：别客气。哎呀，饿死了，我们吃饭吧。

苏南：我也又累又饿，我们点外卖吧！

大龙：你想吃什么？米饭还是面条？

苏南：米饭或者面条都行。你点吧！

大龙：我上次吃了一家面条，很不错。刚才我看马路对面也有一家分店，非常近，应该很快就能送来。你想不想试试？

苏南：那你点，我微信给你转账。

大龙：不用，我请你。我打开“饿了么”看看。

苏南：你喜欢用“饿了么”？哈哈，我更喜欢用“美团”。

大龙：我两个都用。最近因为“饿了么”有红包，所以我经常用它。哎，为什么它说不能送？

苏南：我看看。哎呀，因为你没有换地址，这个分店送不到你家那儿，你把地址换成我家的。

大龙：难怪呢。现在好了，它说20分钟左右送到，还不要配送费。

苏南：对了，你有没有备注说不要放蒜？我不爱吃蒜。

大龙：我记得你不爱吃，所以写了不要葱也不要蒜。你要什么辣？这里有不辣、微辣、中辣、特辣。

苏南：我要微辣。

大龙：好，下单了。对了，我还有几家好吃的餐厅，要不要发给你？

苏南：好啊，谢谢！
