Vienna's Christmas Market by sarahamina

Over the past few decades, Japan has developed its own slightly different ways of celebrating Christmas. Take the phenomenon of the Christmas Kentucky Fried Christmas meal, which began life as a clever campaign by the company and managed to hoodwink the nation into believing that Americans ate roasted chicken to celebrate the day. As ovens are not a feature of Japanese kitchens, KFC was marketed as the next best thing. Ever since the resulting stampede for fried chicken on Christmas Eve has made the company’s cash registers ring with cheer.
