In ancient customs and cultures, it was common to refrain from celebrations in the year of the death of someone close to you. In Japan, in particular, there is a period of mourning （ called momochu ） during which it is customary to avoid celebrations and fancy events. The mourning period usually lasts one year from the date of death.

However, in today's society, individual families and communities may differ in their responses. While some people honor tradition and observe the custom of mourning, others choose to continue with their daily lives while remembering the deceased.

It is important to be respectful of your neighbor's feelings and cultural background when dealing with Christmas gifts. If you have concerns, you may want to ask for confirmation beforehand or choose a modest, heartwarming gift.
