10.31: I went to Target this morning and they were just starting to put out their Christmas albums. I got one by Celtic Woman (with Hayley Westenra who was looking for a while to be the next Charlotte Church) and one by Josh Groban: they may not be the ordained High Priest and Priestess of Kewwwwl, but IINM isn't Groban reasonably popular with teenage girls, and I figure you can't go too far wrong with Xmas music?
I think t-shirts are an awesome idea. I don't know about Christmas music, I think you actually CAN go wrong with that. It's a much different culture and they may not have the same religious beliefs and/or holiday traditions.

I've never much liked getting clothing for anyone if I don't know what size they wear. I Googled "Christmas in Japan": the Japanese do celebrate Christmas with gusto, albeit in a secular way since Christianity is very much a minority faith there. That said, the albums I got do have a rather high Jesus/Santa ratio, should I trade them for something with a little more I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus ?
Good music is good music if the listener has the right ears and a brain in his/her head . I think you made good choices. I've been in Thailand during the Christmas season and they celebrate like crazy over there, decorating practically everything with lights, Santa, reindeer, giant gingerbread houses,etc. --and they're mostly buddhist too.

I'm so stupid! I forgot that you were the original poster and didn't realize you were telling us you made your choice. The more I thought about it, the more I thought that is a great gift. Even if they don't celebrate Christmas, they'll enjoy learning about our celebrations. And Josh Groban has a universal appeal.
