"The use of evergreen trees, wreaths, and garlands to symbolize eternal life was a custom of the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, and Hebrews. Tree worship was common among the pagan Europeans and survived their conversion to Christianity in the Scandinavian customs of decorating the house and barn with evergreens at the New Year to scare away the devil and of setting up a tree for the birds during Christmastime."

A restaurant in Tokyo has said it will refuse to serve couples on Christmas Eve because their happiness would remind single patrons of their loneliness.
The owner of PiaPia, a pasta restaurant in the Hachioji suburb of west Tokyo, has placed a handwritten sign in the window of the restaurant that reads: "We will be refusing entry to all couples on Dec 24, with no exceptions!"
The sign features an outline of a male figure in blue and a female figure in red and a heart with a large red cross through the image. The message states that, as well as upsetting single patrons, romantic couples on Christmas Eve "would cause severe emotional trauma to members of our staff".

Who wants to bet the tencho is the lonely loser responsible for this rule? I love the assumption that single people feel lonely when they see couples. I wonder if that means any pair of opposite sex customers will be banned.

FOR those who don't celebrate Christmas, be it for religious, personal or ideological reasons, and are looking to escape the frenzy of the holiday madness, consider countries like Japan, Thailand and Turkey.
.......
Topping the list is Japan, where Christmas is not a public holiday, and locals go about their business as usual on December 25. Though Tokyo may have its share of robot Santas, Kyoto and Nara – centers of traditional Japanese culture – remain for the most part Rudolph and Frosty-free, while Hokkaido offers snow bunnies some of the best powder in the world.
Here is Skyscanner's list of top 10 places for avoiding Christmas this year:
1. Japan
2. Saudi Arabia
3. Algeria
4. Iran
5. Thailand
6. Nepal
7. Turkey
8. North Korea
9. China
10. Bahamas
