Christmas 2022: Afghanistan

Bhutan

Bhutan is a neighboring country of India and it is also included in those countries where Christmas Day is not celebrated. Buddhism is recognized here. The number of Christians here is less than 1 percent of the country’s population. Even Christmas is not a part of the Bhutanese calendar.

Somalia

Somalia is also included in these countries of the world where Christmas Day is not celebrated. It is said that after the enactment of religious law around 2015, there was a ban on celebrating Christmas here, which continues till today.

China

One of these countries is China, where Christmas is a working day. Here all the schools, offices, shops are open on this day and not even a day’s holiday is given on Christmas. Please tell that China does not believe in any religion, so celebrating Christmas here is completely banned.

Uzbekistan

About 10% of the country is Christian. Despite this, the people here do not celebrate the festival of Christmas. But the celebration of Uzbekistan’s New Year is celebrated like a Christmas festival, where trees and gifts are exchanged.
