In Japan, Christmas is a Western holiday on which people exchange gifts. It has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. In Japan, Christmas is a holiday purely promoted and supported by the retail industry, not the religious community. This is very similar to the way the Japanese confectionary industry intentionally imported the American "Valentine's Day" holiday in 1958 and invented the "White Day" holiday in the 1960s in order to stimulate the sales of chocolate and other sweets. Christmas is popular in Japan simply because it's fun to celebrate and exchange gifts (Japan is partial to holidays, after all) and because the decorations and pageantry associated with Christmas are very attractive and pretty to look at.[/i]
Ahhh, commercialism at its purest form in Japan. Take a normal, meaningful holiday with all its myth and superstition, take it into Japan, and VIOLA! All of the unnecessary effluvium is stripped away, leaving the chewy center that the massive Japanese super-corporations can exploit. Thanks Japan!
But thanks for suggesting Manatsu no Eve, Nobo. I might just pop that in the ol' PS2 for a little Xmas showing this year. Ah, tradition, thy name is Japanese anime. _________________ I have not yet begun to bitch.

Don't most of us consider Christmas in the same way as the Japanese? _________________ Ice cream has this erotic sense to it- kinda like the one choclate and strawberries have.

Besides, doesn't Japan think that Santa Claus is one of our gods or something? And don't they call him "Annual Gift Man" over there? _________________ I have not yet begun to bitch.

All I know, thanks to either CP or Spook, is that some small villages in the mountains there worship giant stone wangs. _________________ Ice cream has this erotic sense to it- kinda like the one choclate and strawberries have.
