The feast of St. Nicholas is on December 6 not Christmas. He should not be associated with Christmas as that is a day devoted to the celebration of the birth of Our Lord.

No religion other than Christianity celebrates Christmas as part of their religion. Many people who are not Christians celebrate Christmas, but they celebrate it as a secular holiday, not as a religious one.

Christmas didn't "start". It's a celebration of the birth of Jesus! If there are any Chritians in Denmark(which there are) they celebrate it.

Germans celebrate Advent going from December 1st through December 24th, as well as St. Nicholas's day. If you're talking about Christmas proper, they open presents and go to church on the 24th--so Christmas Eve--and maybe go to church again on the 25th. But the actual celebration is the on the 24th.
It started long ago in the mid 1800's, but the people of Turkey had to celebrate Christmas secretly in order to not be killed because the majority of Turkey is either Islamic or Jewish, most of them are not christians.
Only about 23% of people in the UK celebrate the birth of Jesus. People forget the real meaning of Christmas because people now think that the real meaning of Christmas is giving presents to each other. The real meaning of Christmas is to thank God for bringing himself to earth as a human being. He came to earth to forgive the people their sins and to give them a fresh start. It is also to share joy and love to each other and with family, friends and relations. Now that people forget this less and less people that really understand why Christmas is celebrated on earth.
