Cute New Year's Lucky Charm Decoration

On a December trip to Osaka, by kid and I stopped by a Mofusand shop because we find the little cats absolutely adorable.

There I debated buying a t-shirt or eco bag but settled on this: 500 Yen gatcha pon in the style of a daruma with a kitty face and, surprisingly, a fortune fitting the omikuji style fortune telling papers so many people enjoy getting as a new year's tradition during their first shrine visit of the new year.

Big luck! And what seems to be the main character orange cat! How incredibly fortunate indeed.

This actually is going to be a Christmas ornament for our tree next year, befitting our yearly tradition of adding one ornament for every winter trip.
