Are there countries that don't celebrate Christmas in December?

Answer 1

Since Christmas is traditionally considered a Christian holiday, there might not be as much celebration of it in Asian and Muslim countries, but this is changing in some places, and the holiday is being celebrated by some non-Christians in these countries just for the fun of it. I won't celebrate too!

Answer 2

Every developed country celebrates January 1 as the New Year to some capacity. Although the New Year of this date is of Roman pagan origin, the spread of the Gregorian calendar and the Christian Era (of which it is now 2011) has resulted in almost every country celebrating January 1 as the beginning of the new worldwide-accepted calendar year.

Answer 3

Holidays are celebrated by people, not countries. This is particularly the case for countries which are (a) democratic, and (b) which observe separation of church and state, such as the U.S.A. There may be goverments which do not honor or recognize other holidays, but where freedom is allowed to exist, holidays are celebrated by the people, not the goverments of countries. In the muslim world, Christmas is often not recognized as a national holiday; however, this does not mean that Christians, Protestants, catholics, etc., who live there are prohibited from observing Christmas. Israel is a Jewish country which observes Jewish holidays; however, it is a modern democracy which observes equality and freedom to its people. 20% of the people in the Israeli government seats (Kneset) are Muslims, and a significant percentage of each religion is also represented among its citizens. So while it is a Jewish state, its people are free to celebrate Christmas. Again, the main point is: Christmas is celebrated around the globe by people, not countries.
