K-pop kills it for Christmas:
UPDATE: The "Jingle Bell" vid is now inexplicably blocked in the U.S. (it's on Wa$$up's own VEVO, ffs); here's an audio stream:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9CfIPRc1Kg. RE-UPDATE: They posted another one, so I re-upped, but I'll keep the audio stream just in case.] [UPDATING THE UPDATE: Now they've taken it off this VEVO and onto another of theirs. So I've re-upped once again.]

Italodisco (al coreano) per Natale

Date: 2013-12-27 04:27 pm (UTC)Says Wikip: "Of the South Korean population in 2005, 46.5% were classified as Irreligious, 22.8% were Buddhist, 29.2% were Christians (18.3% are Protestants and 10.9% were Catholics), and the rest adhered to various minority religions including Jeung San Do, Daesun Jinrihoe, Cheondoism, Taoism, Confucianism and Won Buddhism. A smaller minority of Koreans also professed Islam. A 2010 survey yielded results saying Christian 31.6% (Protestant 24%, Roman Catholic 7.6%), Buddhist 24.2%, other or unknown 0.9%, none 43.3%." Article goes on to say that esp. with Buddhism and Confucianism, which aren't either/or in the way that Christianity is, numbers can be misleading. And that many religions work Confucian elements into their worship. Presumably the irreligious are not immune.
Btw, I grew up in a family of atheist Jews who celebrated Christmas rather than Hanukkah (but no tree).
This year, my gf (Christian heritage, now veers Buddhist) gave me an earring for Xmas, and a Yin-Yang card. I made her a mixtape of female-fronted glam and punk from the '70s.
There's a piece by Michael Hurt in the Huffington Post that argues that in South Korea Christmas is very much a romantic holiday à la Valentine's Day but much bigger and as such is all about presents and Christmas trappings and lights and Santas. Calls it the holiday that's most fun. (Too bad for Halloween.)
