I wish I could share your enthusiasm. If I were Buddhist and they were pushing a Christian Merry Christmas on me, I’d be mad. Japan is a Bhuddist nation. To me, it’s like pushing Kwanzaa on our nation.

I have always had the greatest respect for Japan minus the WWII period where they were the most brutal to our soldiers. But the reason I respected them is because they stood for their culture.

I wish I could celebrate with you that they’ve taken Christmas to heart but it seems only a way to make money.

Thank you for your input.

Merry Christmas!
