How will you all spend Christmas?
Christmas is the most colorful event season of the year, and the city is decorated with illuminations, and many people, both adults and children, are excited about it.
Christmas is originally a foreign culture. There are various theories about its origin, and it seems that it began with Mithraism in ancient Rome, and was later spread as a Christian Christmas event by the Roman emperors. It still has a strong religious meaning.
In Japan, the religious element is weak, and it has undergone a unique transformation as an event decorated with various techniques by major companies. There seem to be several points that suddenly became popular as a national event: Emperor Taisho's death anniversary (death day) was December 12th, and it became a holiday as a festival from 25 to 1947 as the Taisho Emperor Festival (Past Emperor Festival). Then, with the advent of the baby boom, Fujiya's prototype Christmas cake was on the market, and the Christmas sales season heated up at department stores. Through these times, Japan's unique Christmas culture took root.
In Western countries, shops seem to be closed, the streets are quiet, and people tend to spend time with their families, but in Japan, Christmas markets are held here and there, and many people go out to see illuminations and go shopping. think.
In Japan, winter begins around Christmas, and it sometimes snows in many places. Even in areas where there is no snowfall, the drop in temperature causes roads to freeze, causing cars to slip and fall, and emergency accidents to occur. I see in the NEWS that viral diseases are becoming more prevalent this year as well.
When we delved into various aspects using the keyword "Christmas," we found connections to the studies at our university: psychology, global communication, sociology, education and welfare, business administration, tourism, and nursing.
