Actually a lot of countrys celebrate Christmas and Halloween specifically. Though you could say there's several versions of Halloween as the main theme is honoring the dead and dressing in costumes. While Christmas is more or less the same holiday but adopted by more than one place. Japan of all places has a Xmas. Which seems odd because knowing Japan Christmas doesn't seem to have anything to do with them. It's very easy to point out how stupid you are when you complain about things you know nothing about. Also you stated anyone who misses work because of a holiday is stupid if they do not like or agree with that holiday. Which if the government recognizes the holiday the likely hood of you getting it off is high. Which regardless of country is valid.
Not sure what "Xmas" is I don't recognize this as a proper way of saying Christmas. Of course it is a good way of saying what non-Christians are celebrating, a holiday with Christ removed.
Are you saying there are no Christians in Japan? There are only a few like 1 or 2 percent. However that has little to do with their Christmas celebration.
Japan does celebrate Christmas, though it is not an official Japanese holiday.
Christmas has only been widely celebrated in Japan for the last few decades. It's still not seen as a religious holiday or celebration. several customs came to Japan from the USA and are popular.
In Japan, Christmas in known as more of a time to spread happiness rather than a religious celebration. Christmas Eve is often celebrated more than Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is thought of as a romantic day. In many ways it resembles Valentine's Day celebrations in the UK and the USA.
You are actually helping me prove my point. It's either that or you can't read. I said earlier that there are many many celebrations around the world at the same time of year. There are many countries that don't recognize "Christmas" but still have a celebration, helping with your point about the pagen celebration.
Maybe my question was just worded poorly. I could care less if everybody in the world celebrated around the same time I just don't understand why they wish to call themselves celebrating "Christmas". Call it what it is; a solstice, a renewed life, a butchering of the herd, a get nude and party day, or as you put it Xmas celebration. It's just not a Christmas celebration if you're not celebrating Christ.
BTW, I normally try not to resort to name calling or taking personal shots at people because it normally gives the opposite impression. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. You seem to be a good example of today's world problem; "if you don't believe as I do, you are wrong, raciest, ignorant or stupid."
So you have proven you do not know what Christmas, Christianity, or any sort of abbreviations used with these common words. Yet you believe you have a reason to be condescension to others. Xmas is an abbreviation for Christmas. Since x is like a cross. Do you get it idiot?
Why do you celebrate Christmas, if you're not a Christian
