The very first three days of year are our national holidays, called “Shogatsu.”
Anything you do during the three days are Hatsu-something which means something for the first time year.
I did Hatsu-visit to the shrine. I am not religious though, as we all visit a shrine at the New Year.
I ate rice cakes for the first time year. I read a book for the first time year. I rode my bike for the first time year. I skated for the first time year. I hit the gym for the first time year. 
What else I have done for the first time year?
Happy 2018!!
