The story behind the image is actually quite funny:

Also original, high quality pic: https://www.yoshioitagaki.com/home
Thanks for the background! For those who don’t want to click:
This claim is mostly false. The photograph was actually part of an artwork by Yoshio Itagaki in 2005, which in itself is a commentary satirizing the urban legend of a Japanese department store misinterpreting Christmas. The photograph has been used out of context and spread alongside the claim it aimed to critique.
Basically a Japanese artist creating satire I guess?
The same idea is part of the background of the poster of this live-action stop motion (yes really) movie.

I wonder how many western artists create satire and then a random country like Chile is like, “Oh my god Americans do that?”
it’s really good satire if a lot of people can’t tell it’s satire.
It’s Japan’s war on christmas
And I think it’s beautiful.
It took me a while to see through all the jpeg
Thank santa I’m not the only one
I think they nailed it
That guy just got replaced by KFC Santa is all.
Never change, Japan.
I misread this as “Never cringe, Japan”. Still works.
I believe US doesn’t understand christmas, what’s with the bastardized SAiNT(a) niCoLAUS, dressed in Coca Cola costume, instead of the baby jesus celebration. Eh, anyway, as a frugal agnostic, I don’t care either way.
meh. Christianity hijacked Pagan Winter Solstice traditions and some historians even think Jesus was actually born around September. The bible flat out forbids Christmas trees(Jeremiah 10:1-4).
Eh, anyway, as a frugal agnostic, I don’t care either way.
I read furry agnostic and for a moment thought, “Oh shit furries don’t like Christmas? TIL TIL.”
No no, it means the belief that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of Furries.
I mean, it’s all based on he said she said nonsense the further back you dig anyways. The only difference today is that corporations hijacked the public consciousness to perpetuate consumerism, instead of it being cave dwelling Jews or delusional Roman oracles with an affinity for pharmacological ‘substances’.
Jesus wasn’t even born in December lol. Early Christians stole the winter solstice festivities from Pagans, because that’s how cults work - they leach off of other cultures, then either twist or outright re-write those traditions, allegorical stories, and legends to benefit their narratives.
meh, close enough.
No. They understand it just fine. Better than western Christians at least.
Kurisumasu = buy shit. And eat KFC. Okay, that second part is solely their own.

Santa died on the cross for our KFC.
No, guys we crucify Santa on Easter.
This made me laugh boisterously. I’m sending it immediately to a friend and to my partner. This will be my favorite thing of the day, I’m sure of it.
Edit: Joker laugh. Not kidding.
It’s called “Yule”, you christian crusading monsters!
