Christmas in Korea is a day when christians spend an extra day in church, and when businesses capitalize on the emerging popularity of the holiday. For the majority of Koreans, Christmas is largely a couple's holiday. Those with significant others are expected to purchase a gift for their sweetheart, at a price which shows the appropriate status of commitment. For many people, cakes have become a traditional Christmas staple; a boon to the coffee shops and bakeries which supply them. On another hand, Christmas is a great time for a business to produce a "Grand Open" special. A cute girl dressed in a cute santa outfit, an all white victorian era mime, and a polaroid to lure unsuspecting customers in for a picture; for example.
