Why do the Japanese celebrate Christmas?

Because it's /comfy/.

Most likely because they wanna be like America, or they just want another excuse to sell shit

KFC needs money

because they are americas bitch

consumerism

All the way back in the 1960s, some journalist wrote "Americans fret over whether Christmas has become commercialized and lost its meaning. In Japan, it never had any."

Because Heil KFC

People like the atmosphere and the decorations of Christmas. Retail business could also make huge profit by Christmas. So they advertise Christmas a lot and make people buy stuffs a lot.

Good day for sex.

Commercial holiday, same reason they celebrate Halloween now and Black Friday. Companies found they can make money off it.

This.

What did he mean by this?

And Valentine's day.

What? It was strictly a consumer holiday in Japan and they didn't really care that much about the birth of Jesus.

Yum

everyone loves YULE

I’ll watch “It's a Wonderful Life” in the coming Christmas and make a donation.

For most Japanese, Christmas is not a day to celebrate.
It is a day to enjoy with a girlfriend. :‑(

...

It's pathetic, isn't it?

Because they are a westernized country

we are paganic and christmas sure is paganic

totally this
we don't celebrate Christmas for christianity

It's just a party time, no deep meaning
but year-end and new year celebration are very religious, and we will prepare special food, family members get together, and visit temples/shrines, etc.
Zhang, that's China

> Pols tell that the number of domestic violent cases increases during Christmas season in western countries

It’s sad. Maybe people shouldn’t buy gifts for this event, and take days off or come home earlier and spend time with family instead.

We are American at Helloween.
We are Christian at Christmas.
We are Buddhist when we die.
