Christmas in New Zealand warm up at 24th the best. But when it becomes next day, it becomes quiet again.Most restaurants, shops are closed at 25th. In Japan, most restaurants and shops are open. Many Japanese go there. But people in New Zealand, spend Christmas at home. People invite relatives, and they enjoy having a luxurious food from lunch. They wear pixie hats, and they have crackers. Some papers written joke go out from those crackers. Then they read those, they laugh. The main dish is a turkey. It is standard food. And we often see people who have a barbecue.In Japan if we spend Christmas at home, many people eat turkey too. But few people barbecue in Japan.
Time in New Zealand delays an hour during summer. It is called Summer Time. It becomes dark at 10 o'clock at Christmas. Many people do water skiing in a lake at 9 or 10 in the evening. After eating dinner, there are a lot of time to play. Christmas in New Zealand continur after 25th about 1 month. Some people travel this time.
Christmas in Japan is winter, but in New Zealand is summer. Winter vacation in Japan is not so long. I think it is the best different thing between New Zealand and Japan.
Santa claus's fashion in summer Christmas is same which we image. He comes saying "HO! HO! HO!"
Advertisements of Christmas presents increase. For example, TV commercials inserts. Then children tell their parents,"I want this!"
It is important to write christmas cards in New Zealand. Stamps drown christmas arts are issued then. They write to "Greeding Card" on the envelope. It starts to send cards about christmas's two week's ago. It is like a New Years Card in Japan. In Japan few people send christmas card. Instead, many people send New Years Card. It is very common.
People put these cards on a fire place. It is very important to decide persons who give presents, and go shopping for these presents. It is a very hard work.People give presents for their parents, friends, children and friend's children. In Japan, of course people give christmas presents, but few people give to friend's children.
The number which people give presents may become twenty. But they are not so expensive. These presents may send before christmas like christmas cards, so people put presents under the chrisrtmas tree. The second different thing from Japan is people spend christmas with their family. If they have boy friend or girl friend, they spend with their family. They invite their relatives, they go their grand parent's house... they have a good time with their family. People enjoy christmas not only children but also adult. In Japan, some people spend christmas with their family. But if she or he has a lovers, most people spend with their lovers.
That's all! I like christmas very much. I can eat delicious food. So I enjoyed researching christmas in New Zealand and in Japan.
