Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya

The Baby Jesus stuff has always been a Christian patina added to Pagan Germanic and Ancient Roman holidays anyway.

 I find it weird that Japan incorporated modern-Christmas into their culture, I don't see how any of that's relevant.

It's more of an excuse to spend time with your loved ones in the spirit of giving and receiving presents, since Japanese never had a day like that in their culture. Christmas trees, decorations and red Santa outfits are also an excuse to break from the monotonous everyday environment, and it's a good look for tourists. There's nothing religious about it since they aren't actually celebrating the birth of Christ. Same with Valentine's day -- the Japanese don't celebrate saint Valentine; it's just a convenient excuse for girls to hook up with guys they like and for companies to sell all kinds of heart/love-themed stuff.

 

Basically, the Japanese are in it for the good feeling which they didn't have before, not because of Christian religion.

We don't celebrate St. Valentine either. We've even dropped the "St." in front of "Valentines" to make it secular. It's become a day for card companies to make a bit of a profit.

The Japanese observance of Halloween (All Hollows Eve) is also different compared to the States. Where in the U.S. it's mostly a "holiday" for kids to dress in costumes and extort candy from their neighbors, in Japan it's an excuse for adults to cosplay in public and not be called an otaku. I was in Tokyo at the end of October a few years back and I was surprised how many Japanese get into Halloween. There were groups of "Bloody Nurses" walking around Shinjuku starting about Oct. 26. Halloween night I wanted a late bite to eat so I got off the Yamanote line at Shibuya, and that famous scramble crossing just outside the station was jam-packed with people in costume. 99.9% of the costume wearers were over 18.

I still find it weird that Japan "celebrates" Christmas.
I could get it, if they just used it as a pretext to celebrate (like celebrating several "new years" in one year, just for the sake of getting drunk somewhere) -- but nope, fully-cultural and contextual decorations and all.

Sad that she had to be by herself the last Christmas...but this time, she has family and friends. =D

Awww, why has poor Merrii been by herself? You need to keep in touch with your family, Lorem!

I'm a little sad now. 

Wait.  We don't even get to see what he got for Christmas?

I am hoping that when the husband pops up, he is actually interesting and not some bland "nice" guy who's only likeable thing was not discriminating against her.
Hell, Would be cool if it was like Helck, where they grew to respect each other after trying to murder the shit out of each other.

Just something interesting. Having 2 cool parents would be great for the kid.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding, I have no hope.

No no no no. Dont be like Helck. Too much despaired. And super dick human hero will come to kill all the demon.

You shouldn't leave objects in a baby's crib. Especially ones with pointy corners. Or ones covered in paper and ribbons that they can somehow choke on. Also, I don't think babies know how to unwrap presents

It's literaly a demon with super healign abilities and extrem tenecty ... he will be alright. If it's not holy water doused knifes~

Pretty sure most of those rules won't matter in this particular case

Lighter than her boobs.

Apparently not.

Maybe something like Maoyu, where he's incredibly strong and likes oppai.

Who doesn't like a bit of puff puff

Yes, yes they are.

I wish we had a bit quicker release schedule, but I'll take what I can get

Strange, antlers are shed, but horns aren't. But then, this is a Mazoku.
