Editor’s Postscript

Again for this issue we received articles and photographs for the Share column contributed by employees from countries around the world. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

The Topics column this time has lots of reports on how you celebrate Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and the New Year holiday. We were glad to hear that the year was a productive and happy one for all of you. The column on countries’ cultures introduces the different ways in which children’s growth is celebrated. The ages also vary with the country which is very interesting. If you’re curious, be sure and read the articles.

In Japan, April is the month when the new school year begins and it is also a time when many employees are transferred to a different worksite. Working and holding meetings with new co-workers may not always go smoothly at first. But why not trying putting the content of P-mates to use as a mutual topic of conversation? If it facilitates communication with new co-workers during breaks from work, the editorial team will be very pleased.
