Tanabata ^-^ Let's congratulate on the couple's happiness^-^

The original Tanabata date was based on the Japanese lunisolar calender, which is about a month behind the Gregorian calendar. As a result, some festivals are held on July 7, some are held on a few days around August 7, while the others are still held on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the traditional Japanese lunisolar calendar, which is usually in the Gregorian calendar's August.
In present-day Japan, people generally celebrate this day by writing wishes, sometimes in the form of poetry, on tanzaku , small pieces of paper, and hanging them on bamboo, sometimes with other decorations. The bamboo and decorations are often set afloat on a river or burned after the festival, around midnight or on the next day. This resembles the custom of floating paper ships and candles on rivers during Obon. Many areas in Japan have their own Tanabata customs, which are mostly related to local Obon traditions.
In Vietnam we celebrate this day by having special dinner with all the members of the family^-^. Saying “cheers” is considered to be the best way to congratulate on the couple’s happiness^-^. However I myself prefer the way Japanese people celebrate this day ‘coz It seems to be more romantic^-^ I also wrote my wishes and hang them on the bamboo put up in the school library too^-^ Peace, happiness, big smiles…
