Topic 1: Christmas in Japan

December is around the counter.
One of the major events in December is a Christmas celebration! It is celebrated as Jesus Christ’s birthday universally and also in Japan it is celebrated as a huge event in winter.

Christmas celebration in Japan is unique to other countries for following reasons.

  • It is not a holiday but an event of the season.
  • Main dish for the feast is not a turkey but fried chicken or roasted chicken.
  • Eat whole cake like a birthday.
  • Spending time with a significant other or friends is more popular than with a family.
  • People gives more weight to Christmas Eve 24th than the Christmas day 25th as an event.
  • Gives a significant other an expensive presents rather than exchanging presents between family members.

As you can see, it is celebrated regardless of religious belief in Japan.
To add to the list, Japanese Christmas celebration ends after 25th to prepare for the next big event, “Shougatsu” New Year’s Day.

How people welcome Christmas might be different from one another.
It is the same for all of us that it is a day to spend time with loved ones.

How would you welcome Christmas? However you do, we wish your Christmas to be filled with happiness.
