Looking back on New Year's holiday

This Wednesday in my adult class we talked about  this New Year's Activities. Here, I'll look back on my New Year's holiday again.
How long is my New Year's vacation? Almost a week.
What are my usual plans for the holiday? I usually "take "my mother to a hot spring, and visit my mother in-law in Tokyo.
What do you usually do to get ready for  New Year's? I make travel reservation, put up decorations, and make cards.
What do you usually do on New Year's Eve? I stay here or at an inn, with my family and my mother.
Do you send New Year's cards? Of course, sometimes it's troublesome to make cards, but I really like to receive them, so I send New Year's cards every year.
Where do you get your New Year's cards? Usually I make them on my computer.

Next big holiday is in May, we call it "golden week". We are planing a big thing.

Until the next holiday I want to gain more strength, --- so I continue to workout. As you know, I "hate" exercise.
Well, well , the other day the test results of the checkup I took last month came. Fortunately I don't have any big problems, but the score of LDL is really high. The level is "c", which means "caution needed". And to lower the score I "have to" do exercise. ---- I groan "I don't like it".

Additionally, the sweet on this Wednesday was a sweet cake roll.

My friend baked it. It was really wonderful.
And this Friday it was a day of "SETSUGUN", we usually eat EHOUMAKI-sushi. but my students, Yuki and I ate EHOUMAKI-sweet instead of sushi. (I don't know which has more calorie?)

EHOUMAKI is sushi roll, and we believe that we'll get good luck if we can eat a whole sushi roll without making any noise facing toward the south-southeast, which is believed to be the lucky direction for the year.
