As other opinions, there are skiing ground, hotel, and concert hall.
But, it is the characteritic that the opinion celebrating Christmas in "charch" which is thought to be a Western tradition remains few. In short, in Asia, it is not only because Christians are fewer but also because people take Christmas as a mere event of the year.

<3>What do you eat in Christmas?

Answers of this question are commonplace and we only confirmed that Christmas in Asia is a mere immitation of Western Christmas.
Besides, there are tempura and Chinese noodle in soup (The Phillipines, 24 year old, businessman, male) as a characteristic opinion.

<5>A)Do you believe the existence of Santa Claus?
YES

NO

<5>B) Who answerd yes, why do you believe in Santa Claus?
We felt strong emotion because there are several answers we expected.
We thought that it is Santa Claus who make us feel palpitation only once a year we almost forget in busy daily life.

<6>What does Christmas mean for you?


Maybe because there are lot of Japanese among the replyer, but there is not so much image of Christ's birthday. But somehow all who answered questionnnaire seem to enjoy Chirstmas holiday, so Christmas is surely a special day for us. So I will enjoy.
<7>In your town, city and country in commonsense termts
what does Christmas mean?


To expect from this result, we could know that as we thought every whole city take Christmas as a festival. But it is interesing that the commercial impression become strong by it like gaining profits. Is it especially strong in Japan? IN my opinion at least on Christmas day I want everybody to return home early and to spend family time by himself. I wish you a merry Christmas.
