How do you know that everyone in Japan isn't Christian?
Nowadays, anyone can celebrate Christmas. A lot of non-Christians (as well as Christians) celebrate the family aspect of the holiday, not the religious. If it makes people happy, who really cares. It's not as though they are creating a mockery out of it.

Christmas doesn't need a reason, you HOLIDAY JOY KILLER!
Really, I'm kidding. Some of the major religions of Asia are Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto, Islam, and a few others. Though some people in Northern Asia are Christians. Since Japan is so far north compared to other parts of Asia, I'm sure there are some Christians in Japan.

Christmas is not about the gifts, nor is it about spending time with family and frients. It is about celebrating the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ who was born of a virgin, raised a Nazerine, died the cruel death of the cross, and rose again for our sins. Anyone who "celebrates" Christmas and doesn't take time to remember this isn't celebrating Christmas, they are just giving/receiving gifts and spending time with their family.
My family gets together and exchanges gifts while stuffing our faces with a Christmas feast but all this comes after we sit down and read the story from Luke 2 and 3 and thank God for sending His only begotton Son to be the propitiation for our sins. That is what Christmas is about.

Why not? Believe it or not, Christianity is growing by leaps and bounds all over the globe! This is a wonderful thing to happen and I am happy about this! The more people hear of Jesus and God the more people can choose to serve them and have eternal life with them in Heaven! I'd much rather have Jesus and God in my life and be eternally happy and healthy than the alternative which is eternal damnation in Hell and be in misery and pain. There's enough misery and pain on this earth, why would anyone choose willing to have to go through all that for all eternity when there is someone and some place far greater and nicer than Satan and Hell?
