In Canada Japanese oranges have a special meaning to the people who live on the Canadian Prairies.
The
arrival of a gift from the East, at the coldest time of the year has brightened
many homes and Christmas feasts for over a hundred years.
It
is believed by many that the festive season only really begins when Santa Claus
welcomes the first shipment of Japanese mandarin oranges at the Port of
Vancouver.
The
shipment of fruit is accompanied by young Japanese girls dressed in tradition
kimonos.
On
Christmas morning the wonderful fruit is found in many a child's Christmas
stocking.
