We exchange Nengajyo（年賀状） (New Year’s greeting card) on the beginning of January.
We usually purchase postcards for New Year’s greeting, which is issued by post office every year.
1. These postcards are with otoshidama numbers on them (which may be used to win the lottery and get some goods).
2. The postcards’ stamps have already printed. Stamps’ design is usually that year’s Chinese Zodiac (eto).
3. And under the printed stamps the letter, ‘年賀’ is written. If we post these greeting cards which are written ‘年賀’ in advance at the end of last year, they will be delivered all at once on the beginning of next year.
2018 is special year! Snoopy will be printed on the surface side of the year’s postcards.
We use the following sentences as typical greeting:
‘あけましておめでとうございます’ ‘謹賀新年’ ‘迎春’ ‘A HAPPY NEW YEAR’ ‘初春のお慶びを申し上げます’ ‘賀正’
Each sentence has a little different meaning.
The number of hand-writing New Year’s greeting is decreasing and most greetings are printed. Some are printed by printing company.
When someone of family members (or relatives) died, we send a ‘mochuu postcard’ which means"We refrain from New Year's greetings due to the mourning period" within the year.
Nowadays New Year’s postcard itself is decreasing especially among young generations because internet spread.
For my personal opinion I like New Year’s post card because I feel that the New Year has come indeed.

Snoopy is very popular also in Japan. I’m looking forward to using it. Also other character's on the surface side of the new year postcard will be sold.
