How do you celebrate Christmas in Japan? Everyone like they want since there is no real tradition established?
Do you eat together at the 24th evening? When get presents unpacked by the kids?
Here in south Germany, we eat together after going to Church. I skip that, my skin burns inside there. Then we do the dishes and then the door to the living room is opened. We sing "oh du fröhliche" in front of the tree and then the kids can unwrap their presents.
Then cookies and beverages. Kids go to bed and then many adults from town will meet at the church to grab some hot Glühwein and have a good time together.
But not this year, I am alone at the 24th evening, my daughter is at her fathers place and so it is going to be scotch and pizza. Yey.
In Japan, most people order the Christmas cake for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Yes, we open presents under the tree. It's becoming more popular, but money usually is given to children , but starting in 7th grade, well... they no longer get money.
The Christmas cake is very big business here. Kind of like everyone Stateside buying a Christmas tree. I guess if you google Japanese Christmas cake, that will give you an idea.
The cakes on average run about 32 to 36 USD. Smaller cake are about 18 bucks. We eat ice cream with the cake, but I don't think the typical Japanese would even consider it.
Thanks for asking. I have friends in Germany and they have sent us some German chocolate, that stuff is soo good.

What a nice groove they got in with that odd melody. "Your Own Personal Jesus", had some soul. Never seen that many, about 100 of each musician, drummer, guitar and singers.
