Price: 630yen
This omake shows us the Horitsuba crew celebrating New Years according to many traditional Japanese customs, many which surprise Yui, who's only been in the country for a short time. Yuui then learns which is the typical food in New Years and to store it in the boxes called "Jyuubako", which brings good luck for the New Year, as repeating one of the dishes, the "zouni".
Doumeki doesn't mind all this, and he just keeps eating and repeating dishes as much as he can. The tradition also says that everything must be prepared the days prior as to rest during the first days of the year. However...
Watanuki does nothing else other than working on New Years serving the diners who are having a banquet in the Principal Yuko's office at the Institute. Watanuki complains and Yuko says he'd rather be glad that they're all together, especially because like this they all can be together in kimonos. Sakura blushes and tells Syaoran that the kimono fits him well. He's embarrassed and tells her it's not his credit, but his brother's, who also helped Yuui.
Fai is missing at the party and later makes a grand entrance, shocking everyone because he's wearing a woman's kimono (a Furisode)!!! The girls approach to fangirl over the teacher, while Kurogane, indignantly complains to Yuko, asking her to not encourage him to do strange things in front of the students like he always does. Yuko, in turn, says she's innocent because she only loaned him the kimono... the one who helped him wear it was... Syaoran, who pleads guilty. Kurogane is left broken after finding out the enabler of this incident.
Like this, Fai and Yuko end up making fun of the teacher's kimono, while everyone else laughs and stares, and poor Kurogane feels embarrassed by him, while Yuui only pities him in this peaceful New Year's Day in Horitsuba.
