Respect for the Aged Day Performances
There are groups, private and governmental,
that will go around to retirement homes
and town centers to do all kinds of performances for elderly people๐♪♪
Some areas of towns even will go around the neighborhood
celebrating in their own way!
Respect for the Aged Day Gifts
As far as cards go,
there really isn't a "Happy Elderly Day" card or anything like that.
Most people just get or write cards that says "Thank you".
Since it is a national holiday,
you can expect kids to make special crafts
for their grandparents at school✂๐
If you don't have kids though,
you can get them something they would like or need!
In Japan,
elderly people are known to choke on mochi (rice cakes),
so giving those as a gift isn't recommended.
๐๐๐๐๐
Elderly people are super cute and sweet!!
It is also crazy how genki and healthy
the elderly people in Japan are!
So if you see an elderly person near by,
flash em a smile and maybe even a hug!
We hope all elderly people live a happy,
healthy, and fantastic life๐๐
