They do holiday decorations even though Christmas isn't really a holiday for most people. I'm pretty sure Father Frost is a socialist innovation to counter Santa Claus, and he may appear throughout eastern Europe. I do believe the image of Santa as we now know it originated with a Coca Cola ad?! I don't know, even the standard Santa spooks me a little. Anyway, Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year!

As much as I appreciate concessions to this tradition from a city where it is not people's own holiday ... sorry, Santa's a big guy! I hope you've got a more authentic Santa in Japan.
