Do any of you Issei/Nissei/... in the U.S. celebrate Hina Matsuri with your daughters? Do you celebrate traditionally? 3rd day of thrid month is tommorow!
I've morphed this holiday as a fun late-winter party for the girls-My oldest is almost fourteen, but it is special time for her and her friends to celebrate 'girly" things like dolls, dancing, and singing. We also spend time learning simple origami and making paper peach blossoms. And of course, fun Japanese treat (no sweet rice wine though).
How do you celebrate?
Celebrate Hina Matsuri? Japanese Girls' Day?
The kids at our school all made special Girls' Day decorations and many of them were given treats by their teachers. I bought simple gifts for my son's two female friends (ages 5 and 3) to celebrate.
