MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Well... 2nd day of Christmas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fe11OlMiz8 <-- Awesome! I had wondered about Christmas in Japan. Apperantly another Kentakkii association I read somewhere was from "the chef". He looks like a skinnier Santa Claus. Also, the whole "smiling Santa on the cross" is crazy! Haha. I want to see images of that! Christmas is just celebrated so differently everywhere, even in the US there are just different methods to celebrate it. HAPPY NEW YEAR as well.

Actually, I've heard from my TA for my Japanese Culture and Religion class that they've tried setting something similar to Christmas Cake for men that's called New Year's Cake, meaning that men are no good after they're 31. Whether or not that idea has taken off, however, I'm not sure. xD

i'm pretty sure they have santa confused with elves as well. every christmas card i found in japan last year had hundreds of tiny santas parading around traditional looking buildings with cherry blossoms shedding there petals in the fore and background. so maybe they don't have them confused, but merged . . .? and another thing, they leave decorations up well through january.

managed to convince the country in 1970 that fried chicken was the way to go come Christmas time. Most people (from my experience, anyway) see it as a kind of turkey substitute, as turkey is traditional for Western Christmases but not readily available in most asian countries
