There are many different cultures in Asia, so not all Asians celebrate the same holidays. Hindus celebrate a holiday called Diwali. Muslims celebrate Eid. Chinese celebrate the Chinese New Year. This is only a partial list.

Do Asians celebrate Christmas in December?

Well, I live in China and they sort of do. They put up the Christmas decorations almost one and a half months before Christmas, and keep them up until a like three weeks after Chinese new year. The restaraunts also do special Christmas Eve dinners. But Christmas is not a Asian holiday, but they like to pretend it is. Christmas is a Christian festival, so Christians in any part of the world would celebrate it. There are many countries in Asia, some of which have substantial Christian communities. Christmas is celebrated in December as a matter of tradition - nobody knows when Jesus Christ was really born.

How do asians celebrate Christmas?

Christian and Catholic Asians like those that live in the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor and others celebrate it by going to Church and remembering the birth of Christ on Christmas Eve, Dec 24. Then everybody do celebrate it either traditionally with their local food or parties / gatherings the same way as Westerners do (some believe that jolly old Santa Claus person and love the traditional gift giving ritual). For non-Catholics/Christians living in Asia, they do celebrate it nontheless but more commercially (or for any other reason) and not religiously.
