Does Japan Celebrate Christmas?

Question:


I know i should have learned this is school but Im just curious like do they have Christmas, Halloween, or Thanksgiving as a national holiday. and if they dont do they celebrate something similar?

Answer:


Many people in Japan celebrate Christmas, but for most, it has nothing to do with the birth of Christ.
It's a time to spend together with family & friends. They do have Christmas cards in Japan. And some people put up Christmas lights outside.
Universal Studios in Osaka has some really nice Christmas light displays.
Halloween is also celebrated by some.
Thanksgiving is a American only holiday.
Christmas isn't a real holiday though. It's business as usual.
