Christmas has finished.

Today is 26th. Christmas has finished completely, at least in Japan. All Christmas trees, Christmas lights and other Christmas decorations have been taken away. There isn't a trace of Christmas. It's a usual situation in Japan.

Maybe foreigners who are out of Japan are surprised to see that. I've heard that they don't take Christmas trees away till next month, for example till 6th Jan... it seems that it depends on countries.

Most Japanese aren't Christians. (There are a few Christians though.) And Japanese have no Christmas holiday. We enjoy Christmas as Just one joyful event, and after 25th, the event is finished. Most Japanese are working today and there hasn't been a trace of Christmas in Japan.

Except for selling unsold Christmas cakes at discount prices.
