what are some christmas traditions in japan

Christmas is celebrated in Japan, but it is a relatively new holiday and is not celebrated as extensively as it is in other countries. Christmas was introduced to Japan by Western missionaries in the late 19th century, but it was not widely celebrated until after World War II. In Japan, Christmas is primarily a secular holiday that is more focused on the commercial aspects of the holiday, such as gift-giving and holiday decorations. Some popular Christmas traditions in Japan include decorating Christmas trees, eating special Christmas treats, and going on Christmas dates.
