In fact the history of Christianity in Japan is very interesting, read up on topics like the Shimabara rebellion, Hasekura Rokuemon and the Kakure Kirishitan if you have the time. As for Christmas, I can't really blame the Japanese for "not getting" Christmas, because after all, it's not a traditional Japanese holiday. It's like criticizing Americans for not "getting" the Tenno's birthday (Dec 23rd). I’m pretty sure you meant there are 2 million Christians in Japan, not 20 million.
