year,
My winter vacation starts! Yahoo!
I’ve written new years card, 200 cards (wow).
But I have many things to get done until the end of year.
House cleaning!!
People have a custom to clean their house in Japan.
I am cleaning a car, my room, back and font yards, windows, a bath room, changing old fluorescent lights, waxing all flooring, throwing old stuff and so on and on and on.
AAAh, why do we have to clean the house the end of year?
We have so many customs for coming the end of year, such as writing new years cards, house cleanings, preparing “Osechi (foods for a new year)”.
But I don’t have time even grumbling. There are only 72 hours left…
See you.

My winter vacation starts today!
I’ve written 200 New Year's cards (wow)!
But I have many things to get done before the end of the year.
In Japan, people customarily clean their houses come New Year's.
I am cleaning my car, my room, both my back and font yards, my windows, and my bath room. I'm also changing out old fluorescent lights, waxing all of the flooring, throwing out a bunch of old stuff, and so on.
Argh... Why do we have to clean the house at the end of every year? ("Clean the house" is fine, but "clean house" is a phrasal verb that means to thoroughly clean one's home (among other things). I thought it would sound nice.)
We have so many year end customs - writing New Year's cards, house cleaning, preparing “Osechi" (food for the New Year), etc. -
that I don’t even have time to grumble about them. (I connected this sentence with the previous one.)
And there are only 72 hours left… (Normally, you should avoid beginning a sentence with "and". However, it's often more acceptable and more natural sounding to do so when speaking casually.)
Thank you for your correcting again.
OK, it would be nice to say clean house, clean house, clean house...
I'll remenber it.

Hi, Kohlrak.
I hope that your blocking will work well. (^^;)
