In all countries, there are many holidays celebrating death, life, and family togetherness, From The Day of the Dead, to Bon, to Christmas(named after Jesus's birth, NOT the dude in the red suit) What would be some of this guilds favored holidays, from the culture(s) you're both born into, and study?

I would love to know if there are any Japanese traditions at Christmas time or during the winter season.

Jesus is the reason for the season.

The whole Jesus thing is my favorite.

I read in a magazine and had the fact fine-tuned by Aiko and a few penpals that Japanese people don't really celebrate it. They don't get days off or anything. The biggest thing you might see is a Christmas tree in the square or a few lights put up. And it seems as though a KFC dinner has become tradition as well (this is true!). I read that KFC starts taking pre-orders like a month in advance.

It seems that a lot of the American holidays over there are, like Valentine's day is too. I guess lovers just want more things to celebrate so they can have a good reason for an expensive-dinner-date.

Don't know if this is favored with this guild, but Yule was just yesterday. It's the Pagan tradition of the beginning of winter- or was it the end?- and the coming of the warmth of the sun.

Any and all ways of life are accepted in this guild. The only thing needed here, is the desire to learn.

What in the world? Why would you need pre-orders, to eat at a place like KFC?

my sister had researched some holidays in Japan. she said that their main Holiday celebration is new years. christmas is a time with friends and new years is a time with the family. If I have some thing wrong correct me. sweatdrop heart

Because there's so many people wanting it all at one time.
