How does he get in? There are not too many chimneys for him to slide down

My dealings with Christians in Japan has not been a great experience to be honest. As there are not that many of them, you don't tend to meet many normal ones. The only christians I have encountered have been knocking in on my door (at 8am on new years day for crying out loud) or accosting me on the street
