Christmas is traditionally a Christian holiday. It is meant to be the observation of the birth of Christ. In modern times, only about 1% of the population of China is Christian, so Christmas is not commonly celebrated there.

In older Chinese times, it was illegal to be a Christian. It was something that a person could even be executed for. Even if a person was Christian, they would definitely not want to associate with the customs openly. Celebrating Christmas could have been disastrous for them during this point in history.
