Christmas is fast approaching. I know this because the KFC near my house has dressed it's life sized Col Sanders statue in a Santa Claus uniform. I'm not sure when or how this tradition started but Christmas in Japan is now synonamous with eating fried chicken and cake and Kentucky Fried Chicken take full advantage of this by offering their "Christmas Bucket". As unappealing as this sounds KFC becomes fully booked weeks before Christmas as Japanese people celebrate Christmas by eating fried chicken out of a bucket just as Jesus intended. Japanese competitors MOS Burger have got in the action too (see their puntastic poster pictured). I am happy to report that I won't spending Christmas day in Japan.
