Christmas - Halloween - Holidays

1964 - Tokyo Welcomes Xmas After Olympics: Altough Japan is not a Christian country, they have adopted the festival with great enthusiasm, especially the shopkeepers who have taken down their Olympic Games signs and decorations, and replaced them with their Christmas displays. With the workers pockets bulging with year bonuses equivalent to two and three months wages, the store owners are happy.
