Christmas in Pecos for Buddhist exchange student
Aki Ogihara, a Buddhist from Pecos High School's Japanese exchange program, describes Christmas in the United States as a new experience. She notes Christmas in Japan is not a religious holiday, uses Santa in ads, and involves gift exchange as tradition rather than faith. She believes real Christmas is for Christians and reflects on her own beliefs about rebirth and morality. She says she likes Christmas in this country as an interesting cultural event and expects to understand more in four months.
