Let’s see how they celebrate the holiday season in Japan for the 12 days of Christmas

In Japan, Christmas is seen as less of a religious celebration and more of a time to meet up with friends and have a good time. Japanese Christmas traditions are unique and fun as a result. Japan celebrates Christmas with a unique tradition of eating Kentucky Fried Chicken on Christmas day. Is this even true? It is? Did you fact check that? Really? Wow.

Make sure to wear your most festive seasonal hat tomorrow for our festive spirit week.
