Christmas was initially introduced to Japan with the arrival of the first Europeans in the 16th century. But only in recent decades has the event become widely popular in Japan and this despite the fact that Christians make up only about two percent of the population.

While Christmas is not a national holiday in Japan, more and more people are taking up traditions such as decorating their home, giving presents to friends and celebrating the event with a special meal.

Most enthusiastic about Christmas, however, seem to be retail stores and shopping malls, where Christmas trees, Santa clauses and other seasonal decorations can be found several weeks in advance. Some public places also feature seasonal illuminations.
