I’m going to work on the series of “The Battle against Globalism” during this holiday.
I think it isn’t suitable to read during joyful holiday season because it is an ugly real world documentary story. (Haha)
Majority of companies, except food service businesses, go into holiday from Dec 30 till Jan 4 in Japan.
For Japan, New Year Holiday (beginning from Jan 1st) is the biggest event of the year which has very much to do with its tradition and religion.
<< What Christmas is like in Japan? >>
Traditionally speaking, Christmas event in Japan has been an event for children.
It is time children can get presents from Santa Claus.
However, major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Hyogo (Kobe), Fukuoka, Nagoya began to enhance dressing up the towns with illuminations around 90s. As the result young generations, who experienced Christmas event at home when they were children, found their towns turning into gorgeous and romantic places and took this opportunity for their romance.
Young couples go out at night before and during Christmas being engulfed in the romantic atmosphere and enjoy dinner at cool restaurants.
Of course those families with children continue the Japanese traditional Christmas meal and presents.

Only during Christmas season, supermarkets in Japan sell roasted chicken traditionally.
Traditional taste is “Teriyaki sauce” but nowadays there are many tastes to choose from.
In case of roasted whole chicken, supermarkets take reservation so that those families with children are guaranteed to have the main dish on Christmas night.

Traditionally Cake shops and supermarkets in Japan sell Christmas cakes. Families with children buy Christmas cake for the Christmas evening.
The most popular Christmas cake among children is the cake that has Santa Claus on topping.
