Native Japanese HS student currently living in Kansai region. Recently, when I said to my friend that I would spend Christmas with my family (topic too early), my classmates somehow made fun of me that spending time with family during Christmas is basically spending Christmas alone, and is very miserable to spend Christmas without friends nor girlfriend/boyfriend.
I mean I'm not mad at this, sadly I am definitely not the type of person who can get a girlfriend easily. But for me, it's questionable why spending Christmas with family is miserable…like, isn't it a normal thing to spend Christmas with your family outside of Japan???
Note: I posted here since I am curious how the foreign people in Japan feel about this
P.S. To the mods, if I need to prove that I'm Japanese please PM me
