How do you plan to spend your Christmas or New Year's?

We exchange presents with my family at Christmas. I made a matcha cheesecake, but my elder son wanted to have a fluffy whipped cream Christmas cake, so my kids decorated the cake themselfs.

自然な表現

We exchange presents with my family at Christmas. I made a matcha cheesecake, but my elder son wanted a fluffy whipped cream Christmas cake, so my kids decorated the cake themselves.

1. Simplified the phrase for clarity and conciseness. "Wanted a" is more natural in this context.
2. Corrected the spelling error. "Themselves" is the correct reflexive pronoun for "my kids."
That sounds like a wonderful Christmas tradition! It's great that your kids got involved in decorating the cake. Do you have any special New Year's traditions or plans as well?

We are not Christian but we prepare a feast and celebrate Christmas.
My children receive presents from Santa Claus.

自然な表現

We are not Christians, but we prepare a feast and celebrate Christmas.
My children receive presents from Santa Claus.

1. The plural form "Christians" is more appropriate here because you are referring to your family as a whole, not just one individual. "We are not Christians" makes the subject plural.
2. Added a comma after "Christian" for correct punctuation. This separates the two independent clauses: "We are not Christians" and "we prepare a feast and celebrate Christmas."
This is wonderful, even without the religious part of the tradition. Do you have any religion? Do you celebrate every religious traditions?

I believe in Shintoism and Buddhism. Shintoism believes in 8 million gods, so the gods of all religions are acceptable. I visit shrines to pray for the New Year, I celebrate Valentine's Day, and I visit Buddhist graves during the Obon season. You may think that I am not a moderate person, but I believe there are various gods around me, so I can enjoy various religious events.

I believe in Shintoism and Buddhism. Shintoism believes in 8 million gods, so the gods of all religions are acceptable. I visit shrines to pray for the New Year, _ celebrate Valentine's Day, and _ visit Buddhist graves during the Obon season. You may think that I am not a moderate person, but I believe there are various gods around me, so I can enjoy various religious events.

1, 2. Removed "I" before "celebrate" for parallel structure. The sentence starts with "I visit" and then transitions to other activities. For consistency and smooth flow, it’s better to omit the subject ("I") before "celebrate" and "visit," as they are implied from the first part of the sentence.
