GeekWhistle endikiri oooo thanks for the extra info. lol there is not much online about some of the Japanese traditions. At least not in English. Your welcome. I'm pretty up on japanese culture. But I guess I never really noticed the lack of information in english though. I've got my web browser hacked so that it translates everything to english. Excluding Spanish or French because I actually speak those. I'm not well versed enough in Japanese to turn that option off yet. Speaking of japanese holidays though - have you ever heard of Tanabata? It's a summer holiday, but it's one of my favorites.
Tanabata basically translates as Star gazing festival. I absolutely adore the festival. We have a big celebration here and we all tie wishes and dreams on the bamboo trees. oooo and the food is just amazing. The music and dancing are also great.
What do you enjoy about Tanabata?

I just love the whole idea of it. We don't have any bamboo trees around here, but my friend had a little bamboo plant and one year we all tied wishes to it and it looked like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree plus paper a bit. We adored it though. I shoulda taken pictures. It was great.
