    In 1884, with the inauguration of the Protestant missionary activities in Korea, the modern Christmas was introduced into Korea. Though missionaries held their way of celebrating Christmas, that is, as the holiday focusing on family meeting and the exchange of gift between them, the mission field’s situation did not allow their way of keeping Christmas as they did in US. Instead of leaving off the field and meeting their family at home, they had to absorb themselves in informing non-Christian Koreans with the meaning of the holiday and the birth of Jesus. Because strange customs in Christmas attracted Korean’s interest, the Christmas season was the best period for introducing Christianity. These advertising activities grew to constitute the main programs of Korean church. They made Korean Christmas in churches more “religious” than that of US.
    Since 1930s another version of Christmas was introduced into Korea. In this period, we can find the commercial version of Christmas was introduced with the expansion of modern lifestyle. On the streets of Seoul in 1930s, we could see Santa Clause in show windows, exchanges of gift between young people, and Christmas party held in cafes. Though this temporary fad of Christmas was oppressed by Japanese government since World War Ⅱ, we can conclude that the Christmas based on market was established at the middle of 1930s.
    The result of introductions of Christmas through two channels, Protestant church and market, was the formation of dualism in Christmas at Korea. Korea has two versions of Christmas. On the side of Christians, which compose one fourth of Korean population, Christmas became more religious holiday of advertising Christianity to non-Christians. On the other side, to the usual Koreans, the festivities of Christmas were accepted without emphasis on the family which was the founding virtue during the formation of modern Christmas in US. Thus, the dualism between religious and commercial aspects in Christmas was established even before 1945 since which Christmas became more popular holiday.
