Christmas is not celebrated in many countries due to cultural and religious factors. Countries like Afghanistan, Bhutan, and China do not observe Christmas as a national holiday. Other nations, such as Egypt and Morocco, celebrate different holidays or focus on other traditions, despite small Christmas celebrations among certain groups.
Christmas is widely celebrated around the world, but some countries don't observe the holiday for various reasons, often due to religious or cultural differences. In Afghanistan, Christmas isn’t recognized publicly, as Islam is the dominant religion, although small Christian communities celebrate privately.
Bhutan, a Buddhist nation, observes other holidays like "Bodhi Day" instead. In China, where Christmas was once banned, it’s now more of a commercial event similar to Valentine’s Day, celebrated mainly in cities. Egypt’s Christian population celebrates Christmas on January 7, following the Julian calendar.
Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, and other nations treat the day like any other or observe different traditions, with some tolerance for Christian practices but minimal public festivities.
