Christmas customs are different in the world. Christmas Eve in some parts
of the world may find parents battling crowds of other last-minute shoppers or
struggling to assemble toys as their children sleep, but in Japan the holiday is
as much for couples as for kids. Magazines aimed at the young in love are filled
with advice on the best places to stroll down streets illuminated with stunning
displays of Christmas lights, the best restaurants for a cozy dinner for two —
and the best hotels for a romantic night. Tokyo Tower, a popular dating spot, is
lighting up a heart-shaped illumination on its observation deck every night
until Christmas. Some believe that couples who stand under the tower when the
lights go on must vow eternal love. Lovers can also tie a ribbon to a special
Christmas “love tree” on the tower’s observation deck. Nearby, the new Tokyo
Prince Hotel Park Tower has two specially decorated Christmas suites on offer
for $16,660 a night, fancy dinner included. Only about 1 percent of Japan’s
population is Christian, and December 25 is a working day for most people, but
practices such as decorating shopping streets and exchanging gifts became common
in the robust consumer economy that emerged after World War Two. Modern
“traditions” include Christmas Cake — a sponge cake with strawberries and
whipped cream eaten on Christmas Eve — and, for some families, a take-out bucket
of Kentucky Fried Chicken. |
