A cake is indispensable for a happy home during Christmas, and one 24-hour convenience store enjoys a sudden jump in sales of its Christmas cake. Selling everything from foodstuffs to everyday goods, these convenience stores can be found throughout Japan. But now these stores even help people celebrate Christmas, as a man discovers when, coming home late from work, he buys a Christmas cake at a convenience store for his child. What do these changes reflect? With its eye on a convenience store in suburban Tokyo, Merry Xmas from Convenience Stores also offers a glimpse of the lives of its customers.
