In today's World Tour, we dive into the fascinating holiday traditions and cultural practices from different parts of the world. My guest, Hika, and I reflect on our unique holiday experiences, having grown up in Japan, but now living in different countries with diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.
As we talk about our current lives—Hika now residing in Dubai, a city with a majority of Muslim population, and me living in Canada, where Christmas is widely observed as a Christian holiday—we reflect on the beautiful diversity of holiday rituals and the ways different cultures honour the season.
