About the video: This video goes over winter in Japan, more specifically Japan in December. While discuss this month in Japan we go over the weather in Japan in December, Japanese festivals in December, and discuss Christmas in Japan. While discussing Christmas in Japan we go over Japan’s obsession with KFC Christmas Chicken, and give the history for how it came about. We also discuss Christmas Eve in Japan and how it differs from Christmas Eve in the West by focusing on Japanese dating rather than family time.
