This is wonderful, Gianni! I had no idea about ‘KFC for Christmas’ in Japan and the Christmas Cake reminds me of strawberry shortcake. Thank you for this and Merry Christmas! 🎅 🍗

I love X'mas in Japan! The festive lights and atmosphere makes you wonder if the Christian population of Japan is really only 1%! Everything is so cheery and festive!

I celebrate X'mas in Yokohama almost every year. The first time was in the early 90's, and also the first time I saw the JR Express TV commercial. I fell in love with Tatsuro Yamashita's Christmas Eve immediately, and it has been my favourite Christmas song till today.
