| Christmas in Japan is all about romance photo credit: www.punipunijapan.com |
I saw this news report on a Philippine online newspaper. I found it both funny and sad.
In a nutshell: 20 single Japanese men were protesting Christmas because it's a symbol of capitalism and commercialization.
What they're using is absolutely true but I think the deeper cause is they have no one to celebrate Christmas with.
In Japan, Christmas is an event for couples much like how Valentines is celebrated in the West. If you're unmarried, single or no guts to ask someone to a date, then you can just forget a Christmas celebration. No wonder these single men are protesting!
