Well
I can understand all hate of all the build up; but to not have it is shite. I lived in Japan and the unsaved heathens know little of Jesus or his fat brother Santa. The 25th is a work day. A young couple may go and have a nice lunch. You can give the odd card or two. The card will be looked on as a waste (as all card should). The TV stations will be awash with a tree, fake snow and awful roast dinner attempts.

BIG Department stores will be decorated with Santa's shite. But there are high odds of seeing the crucifixion of a Santa. So high hopes when shopping. A few days after the Japanese kick out a good very good new year party. Which is what they all enjoy. The poor sods may not be doing much for the next new year as you don't celebrate it when you've had a death in the family.

So in all enjoy it, when you don't have it, it kind of sucks.

Oh, don't even get me started on christmas cards
My ex's family used to send cards to thank them for the cards. Then a card to thank them for that one!

*grinds teeth & mutters*

[edit] Crucifying santa, you say?.... I likey!
