Most Japanese have a custom of sending them to their friends and relatives. This is similar to the Western practice of exchanging Christmas cards.
The post office guarantees to deliver the greeting postcards on the first of January if they are posted within the time limit, from December 15th to 24th.
I have made it a rule to send those postcards printed with family pictures since I got married. I heard some of my friends were looking forward to receiving a New Year’s postcard with our family pictures every year. I’m glad to hear such comments.
Today, I looked into the year 2007 pictures’ folder of my PC to select appropriate pictures for the New Year’s postcards. I haven’t decided what pictures I would use yet. I have one more weekend before the due day. I can spend hectic but exciting season to design the postcard for waiting everyone.
I show you the year 2007 New Year’s postcard.
It says, "I wish you a Happy New Year" in Japanese.
