KFC fried chicken is a popular food eaten for Christmas dinner (which you must order at least 2 months in advance btw) in Japan, along with the most tradition Japanese Christmas food: Christmas cake (a sponge cake decorated with strawberries and whipped cream), a Japanese citrus fruit called yuzu, wagashi and the Christmas tabehoudai buffet.

The Santa Claus in Japan is a Buddhist monk called Hotei-osho who acts as jolly old Saint Nick as he brings presents to each house and leaves them for the children. Some believe that he has eyes in the back of his head, so children try to behave like he is nearby.
