Fukubukuro / 福袋

私は毎年１月２日に福袋を買っています。
５年くらい前に買った福袋が大当たりでやみつきになろましたが。。。

大勢の人が両手に福袋を下げていました。
そんなに必要なのかしら。。。

私もそうですが、人はなぜ必要以上に物を買ってしまうのでしょうか？？

I went to buy a Fukubukuro(福袋) at my favorite shop on Jan. 2.

Many kinds of fukubukuro are sold all over Japan from that day.

I saw a lot of people who had several large packages in both hands.

I wonder if it’s only a Japanese custom or not.

I usually buy a 10000 yen fukubukuto every year in which many kinds of clothes

to the value of about 30000 yen are packed.

There was a black short coat, a beige skirt, a violet pull-over, a camisole and

a black muffler inside it.

To be frank, it disappointed me.

I bought a fukubukuro five years ago for the first time and was lucky because

I still wear the same clothes now.

I started buying fukubukuro from that year.

However good luck does not continue…

I think that it is about time I learn my lesson.

Why do many people want to have more than they need ??
