Christmas is for lovers
In Japan, Christmas is not a traditional holiday, but rather a celebration similar to Valentine’s Day in Western culture. Christmas Eve is considered a romantic day where couples and lovers spend time together. On December 24, people should take their dates to fancy restaurants or indulge in romantic activities as a couple.
Contrary to popular belief, in Japan, gifts are rarely exchanged between family members on Christmas Day unless previously agreed. The most common is that lovers prepare and exchange romantic gifts on this special date.
