Christmas is coming, and goo Research were first to get in on the act with their look at Christmas.
Demographics
Between the 20th and 25th of October 2011, 503 members of the goo Research monitor group residing within Tokyo city or the three surrounding prefectures of Chiba, Saitama or Kanagawa completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.9% of the sample were female, 33.8% in their twenties, 33.2% in their thirties, and 33.0% in their forties.
I hate all the Christmas present nonsense myself. I send my parents our company?s calendar every year, which is always a nice and easy purchase to make, then I agonise over what to get the wife, and it usually ends up as some cuddly toys.
Note that Christmas in Japan usually means Christmas Eve, and indeed that is how it should be read in the questions below.
