Go fig.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Christmas a holiday in Japan?  It
was
here in Taiwan till this year.[1]  I'm gonna have to teach on
Christmas Day.
  Major bummer.  Guess how much book work's gonna happen THAT day!

Yeah. I think it's a holiday in Japan but it's approximately 98%
secularised and commercial, much more so than over here, I think.

An example is the festively-repeated urban legend that a Tokyo
department store display showed a Santa crucified a la Jesus. It's
not fully true, but it's still an example of how Christmas is
portrayed...
