Kotatsu Pilgrimage or Visiting a Kotatsu

Today is New Year's Day. Yesterday, I got my older sister to promise that we would go to the shrine together for the first visit of the year. Yet despite that, my older sister shows no sign of getting out of her futon. With no choice, I forcibly pull her out of the futon, and she rushes into the kotatsu with great momentum. While we're eating breakfast anyway, my older sister suddenly points at the television. When I look, it's a news report saying that my residential area has gone below freezing on New Year's Day for the first time ever. My older sister suffers from severe hypothermia and has needed hospital care multiple times in the past. Because of that, it's difficult to forcibly take her out, and I give up on going to the shrine together for the first visit of the year. To me in that situation, my older sister suggests something while taking out her computer. It was the idea of doing a pseudo first shrine visit while looking at photos of the local shrine displayed on the screen. I'm not satisfied with that, but since my older sister went to the trouble of thinking up this alternative, I think it would be wrong to dismiss it, so I go along with her proposal. And so, on New Year's Day, I end up doing the first shrine visit of the year with my older sister inside the kotatsu.
