My Get-Pushed Partner, Martine @3sixty5 said, "For your challenge I would love to see an image that shows something of a new years celebration in your mixed anglo asian culture."
This is a decoration with symbols of the Japanese New Year celebration, but placed on the front door to my house as if it were an American door "wreath" people often put on their doors.
Note to self: Next time, clean the window before taking a photo!
