READING (20) :Read the paragraph and answer

Do Japanese people celebrate Christmas?  They certainly do!  Christmas in Japan is seen as a time
for couples to spend a romantic evening together.  Younger Japanese people might get together with
their friends for a party. Most Japanese don’t celebrate the religious part of Christmas but some of the
nation’s 3 million Christians do attend a church service.

Many Japanese associate Christmas with fried chicken.  In the 1970s, fried chicken restaurant chain
KFC conducted a popular advertising campaign with the slogan, “Kentucky for Christmas!”  In late
December, KFC sells a lot of fried chicken.  Fried chicken is popular at this time also because
Japanese people associate a foreign holiday with foreign food.  In Japan, KFC has become such a big
part of Christmas that many people mistake the image of KFC’s Colonel Sanders as Santa Claus.

Along with KFC, Christmas in Japan also means Christmas cake.  This is not like the fruit cake that
people eat in many other countries.  In Japan,
it is a sponge cake with strawberries and whipped cream.  A typical Christmas cake costs about 3000
yen (about $30).  After Christmas, you can still buy a Christmas cake in most Japanese supermarkets
for about half the price.

Finally, most westerners are surprised at how quickly Japanese stores take down their Christmas
decorations.  While we tend to see Christmas decorations stay up long past Christmas, the Japanese
tend to remove decorations from stores either on December 25th or the very next day.  This makes
sense if you know about Japanese culture because the most important day of the Japanese year –
New Year’s Day – is only six days away from Christmas Day!
