Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century.

Summer Vacation

In summer vacation, I had part-time job. I’m working as a waitress in Japanese restaurant. My work place is having trouble finding workers though it is always crowding. My superior forced me to work many days. I really don’t like my job, so I tried to get more day off. But I couldn’t. My superior is very strict and severe. I can’t obey to her. I wanted to get more holiday… I decided to quit my job at November. But I worry I can say “I’ll quite this job!” to her or not. Because the end of year and the beginning of year will soon be here.

But that isn’t all. In the end of August, I had my birthday. In that day, my family congratulated me. I and my mother went to restaurant in lunch. I ate much delicious foods. And I went to Yakiniku restaurant with my family at night. I had a stomachache from eating too mach. But I felt happy.

These days later, I met high school friends. My friend held a class reunion. About 25 boys & girls came to there. We had dinner together. And at end of that, a waitress carried small cakes with a candle on big dish into our room. I looked that cake dish. There was a message on the dish with chocolate and I read that. “Happy Birthday Mamina” It was my birthday cake! I was surprised and very very happy. My friends sang a birthday song to me. I was deeply moved by my friends and my eyes glistened with tears. I enjoyed it.
