In many western countries, people stay with their family for the Christmas holiday. Japan has a bit different custom. Especially for unmarried people, the 24th or 25th of December is a special day for couples. They may exchange presents or have a 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 theWorld War II.
