I don't think it's a nationality issue as much as a religious issue. I would assume most non-Christian religions, like the Jewish and the Muslim, don't celebrate Christmas.
I've also found out recently that some so-called "Christian" religions don't celebrate Christmas. For example, the Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas...they say since the "Holy Scriptures" (not the Holy Bible???) reference a warm evening when the shepards were tending their flocks on the night that Jesus was born, he wasn't born in December, but rather the Summer, so that makes Christmas celebrations a paganistic ritual...
Go figure???

China, Japan, all Southeaster Asian Countries, India, most of Africa do not celebrate Christmas. In the majority of cases, Christmas is a national holiday only in those places that have Christians as the majority population, that translates to Europe, Australia, New Zealand (and all So. Pacific Islands), America (both North and South) and a few other countries such as South Africa which was settled by christians in the long past...
