Not Japanese Christmas but
what is the image of American Xmas?
I have an image of Japanese Xmas a time to spend with lovers
America is spending time with family
Isn't it?
End of the year may be spending with friends
I have a strong image of Xmas being time to spend with family
I have an image of Japanese Xmas being noisy
but America does the correct Xmas
Correct? Legitimate Xmas?
Apart from noisy Japanese Xmas, it's correct way of celebrating Xmas
I have that image
What part is correct?
I guess the religious factor comes in so
So I have that image
Religious Christmas?
Yes, something like that
I have been to Xmas in US
Maybe 3 times
The illumination is so flashy
and the size is so huge
There are 3m or 5m sized illumination in shape of animals in the front yard
and everyone goes to church
And the children will sing...in the choir?
Pray and eat
is the image I have
Big presents
That is also the image I have of America
What is inside them?
Big stuffed animals or
or even...people?
People as Xmas present?
Big Xmas trees in the house
How big is a big Xmas tree?
Ceiling height
What ornaments would go up on the tree?
Big shiny ball
Big presents
That was here!
A lot of presents!
A lot?
How many would there be?
10 10
How many did you get?
One
What would be in it?
Bears
10 bears?
Clothes, bear
What else...

What is an image of American Xmas?

I think so
Always?
Always!
Turkey

Turkey! You eat in Japan?
Not so much in Japan
Beautiful Illumination
They have home party
Home party
Call many friends to party?
In Japan we don't invite friends over to play
Eat gorgeous food
Oh so someone will...not someone, Santa
will come is your image?
Yes
Have that in Japan as well?
In Japan...
parents..
Parents give you presents
When we were little, we were happy when Santa came
When we grow up, it's between friends..adults
or receive from adults
That seems to be the case
Maybe abroad, Santa still comes every year
In imagination
Romantic
So what is the image of America
I have one that has a great party
The image of the movie Home Alone is big
and stay at home alone
The reverse. Really big party or home alone
Eating that huge feast with the family. The family time
What do they eat?
I think they eat turkey
Bird
Roasted turkey
Anything besides turkey do you have in mind?
A really big Xmas tree is decorated
A huge cake is placed
For US I have an image that the dishes are huge
so that probably makes it look gorgeous
Those were the questions. Thank you very much
So that is what a Xmas in the US is like
according to Japanese people
They might be right not quite right
