It’s a special day of the year when you don’t want to be seen alone in public. In fact, many people think it’s quite embarrassing not to have a date to a party. No, we aren’t talking about Valentine’s Day – we’re talking about Christmas in Japan!
Christmas is quite a romantic holiday in Japan when couples do all the lovey-dovey stuff like going on dates, buying chocolates and spending time together. We love that – after all, the underlying Christmas spirit is rooted in love!
Speaking of Japan, today we’ve got something different for you to try this holiday season – Origami Christmas crafts! Don’t worry, you can try these out even if you’re a beginner, and try out the more challenging ones as you get better!
