nengajo

Whenever nengajo (New Year card) season comes around, the post office asks you to bundle your cards and stick them into the mail box.

The reason they ask you to bundle them is so that they can keep the New Year cards separate from the regular mail since these New Year cards are delivered on New Year's day (if they aren’t bundled they will get delivered right away)

This was the first time I saw that someone had attached a bag of rubber bands to the mail box for people to bundle their cards.

A very thoughtful act!

Amazing! First, that Japan would try to deliver on New Year's Day. 2nd, that someone puts a bag of rubber bands for people to use (you know over here someone would steal the bag or dump all the the rubber bands on the ground.)

I agree that someone would probably dump the rubber bands or take them in the US, V!

Take care.
