    Many Americans came to

    Japan to study and work.


    Many American restaurants
    came too.

    In 1970, Japan was happy.


    New restaurants, stores, and
    ideas were coming to Japan
    from other countries,
    including America.
    In 1970, Japanese people did
    not celebrate Christmas.
    However, many foreigners in
    Japan did. They missed
    Christmas back home.
    Mr.Okawara, the manager,
    gave her the first
    Christmas Chicken Bucket.
    Mr.Okawara was smart and
    had an idea.

    One day in Nagoya, a


    foreign woman went to
    Kentucky Fried Chicken and
    asked for chicken for her
    friends on Christmas.
    Okawara decided to sell
    Chicken to Japanese people
    too. KFC started saying
    "Kurisumasu ni wa
    kentakkii".

    Okawara also said that in


    America, everyone eats
    Kentucky Fried Chicken on
    Christmas.
    The lie worked. People
    went to KFC and waited a
    long time to get the
    "traditional" Christmas
    food.

    This was a lie. Americans


    do not eat KFC on
    Christmas.
    51 years later we still
    celebrate Christmas in
    Japan with Kentucky Fried
    Chicken.

    The
    End
