Santa Claus San Visits
On Japanese Christmas
December 25 is not a national
holiday in Japan, but you’d never
know it from the colorful store
decorations and the happy squeal
of youngsters gifted by “ Santa
Claus San.”
D epartment stores may have as
many as 100 Santas.
We hope this
holiday finds you
abundant in
things material
and spiritual.
