Joel and Hana celebrate Christmas the way  J. Torres says a lot of Koreans do: by importing the secular trappings of the holiday. So there are presents, cookies, and actual conversation, which is something these two characters barely do.
I also enjoyed the beginning essay on other Korean holidays, and the cheery Korean teen that discusses different kinds of Korean dating. This book is way better as a cultural introduction to Korea than as, oh, a love story.

A fun look at Korean life and customs. We meet Joel who is teaching English and feeling homesick. This series is a great look at how it feels to live in asia; how you love and hate it at times. Joel finds something new to love about living in Korea when he meets a new girl. The art is good and the story is entertaining and compelling.
