"Christmas Cake" is a Japanese term for a woman who is too old to get married. The kicker?

The idea comes from the fact that nobody wants Christmas Cake after the 25th of December. So Japanese women are considered "old maids..." at 25.

Japan's birth rate is, I imagine not coincidentally, falling.

That being said, my family never baked cake at Christmas, but damn it, do they bake a lot of cookies.
