Christmas holiday In many western countries, people stay with their family for Christmas holiday. Japan has a bit different custom. Especially for unmarried people, 24th or 25th of December is the special day for couples. They may exchange presents or have special dinner at upscale restaurants. I wonder when and how this strange and unique tradition started. According to Wikipedia, it seems that people had such a custom back in 1931! It was surprising since I thought it started after the world war II.

Haha! Yes, I was a bit surprised during my stay there. I thought my host parents would be planning a family event for the two kids, but instead my host mother asked me with whom I would be going out. (p_q) It was only then that I came to know about the Japanese (and Korean..? I'm not sure..) way of celebrating Christmas! But one thing is for sure, Japan is beautiful in the Christmas season~~ ^_^
