Christmas

**Christmas**, as an annual holiday, is also celebrated in [Japan](/wiki/Japan "Japan") - without the religious connotations and an emphasis more on the Christmas Eve than the Christmas Day itself, though. Central to it are giving and receiving cards, presents and the typical [Christmas cake](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cake "wikipedia:Christmas cake") to others to spread a feeling of happiness. The Japanese Christmas and its customs appear in the works of [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama") a couple of times as a central plot element.
