Japanese Christmas

We celebrate Christmas, but not western way. We have our own way to celebrate the day call ‘Christmas’. (This is in general opinion) Japanese Christmas is for lovers and children’s. Loving couple goes to dinner and buy present. You will see a couple holding hands everywhere. ^^ People buy present to your family and husband and wife. But we don’t go to church. (Yes there are Christians in Japan. They do go to church.) In Christmas, I miss my American family. I spend 2 years in US, and I really had good time there. I had a chance to come into contact with a different culture. ^^

In Japan, we eat fried chicken and Christmas cake. ^^ Because of this culture, we have expression for lady. People say ‘don’t be a Christmas cake’ that’s means get married before 25. Because until Dec 24th, Christmas cake is fancy and expensive, but after 25th, the price drop down and Christmas cake is not Christmas cake anymore. ^^ Bad? Good?
