Comment on Japan appears to be confused about Christmas

They absolutely do not. The only reason it’s celebrated over there is because “It’s an American thing, don’t you wanna do the trendy American thing?”
No joke, they eat KFC for Christmas because KFC was doing poorly in Japan, but they realized it was considered “trendy” and “cool” to do “The American Thing”, so they just gaslight everyone into thinking KFC is a Christmas Tradition in America, and somehow they still believe that.

Do they actually try to run with the idea that the KFC on Christmas thing is how it’s celebrated outsideof Japan as well? I just assumed that they’d kind of formed their own tradition that’s less formal and less associated with home cooking since it’s not a real holiday and just a kind of for fun thing.
