Billions of people come together to celebrate the spirit of giving, love and humanity. Families reunite and enjoy the Christmas cheer!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, not all are aware that there are a few nations, where Christmas is not even recognized. Christianity might be the most prominent religion in this world, but it covers only one-third of the global population. Not all countries with diverse religions choose to celebrate Christmas. Here, we bring you the names of countries where Christmas is \u201c<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">just another day.<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Countries where December 25 or January 7 (as celebrated by some Orthodox Christians) is not a public holiday and is not observed:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Afghanistan<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This landlocked country in South-Central Asia has a majority of the Muslim population, and they don\u2019t celebrate Christmas as a holiday. People who aren\u2019t Muslims, also avoid holding the festivities to prevent violent attacks, as religion-based danger still exists in the country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Algeria<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Located in Northern Africa, the country only has a few churches, but the Christian population is rising. Christmas markets have begun to open in Algeria. However, it is not yet a public holiday.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bhutan<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Miniature Santa Claus can be found in shops, and some of the streets are adorned with lights, but a holiday is not declared in the country on December 25.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">North Korea<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Run by a dictator, North Korea doesn\u2019t celebrate Christmas as well. Kim Jong Un has imposed a ban on singing, drinking and partying around the festival.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Libya<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Islamic country does not declare a holiday on Christmas. Any selling of Christmas themed ornaments, decorations and gifts have been against the law, even though there is a minor Christian population.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mauritania<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The largely-desert country, Mauritania, has a large Islamic population, which becomes the reason as to why there are no festivities witnessed in the countryside around Christmas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Saudi Arabia<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If foreign ex-pats use a subtle approach, maybe they could celebrate Christmas in the Islamic country of Saudi Arabia. But otherwise, there are no Church services and people who wish to celebrate the need, do it in private.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Somalia<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The government of Somalia has banned Christmas traditions. It is a shock how a country which hosts peacekeepers from major-Christian countries like Burundi, Uganda and Kenya does not allow people to celebrate the festival, only because it is itself Muslim-dominated.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tajikistan<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trees, gifts, fireworks and even charity is outlawed in schools and universities in the country of Tajikistan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tunisia<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Beyond an economic opportunity for people, Christmas is not celebrated in the country of Tunisia.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Turkmenistan<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The legislation of Turkmenistan provides freedom of religion and religious organizations, but the Christmas population is too small to find Christmas cheer in the country.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Uzbekistan<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The culture of Uzbekistan is diverse. There is a mix of different ethnic groups with 71% of its population being Uzbek, and other minority groups being Russians, Tajiks, Kazaks, Tatars, Karakalpaks, Armenians and Koryo-saram. Only 5% of the population follows Christianity. Still, the government is involved in massive ill-treatment of Christians, so much that Uzbekistan was designated to a list of countries of particular concern of the U.S. State Department.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Yemen<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Arab country, located in Southwest Asia, is already in a crisis. Over 99% of Yemenis are Muslims. And yes, it is too hard to observe Christmas while living in a country which has been suffering so long.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the other hand, there are few countries\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">where Christmas is observed, more for commercial purpose, but the holiday is not declared.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Schools, offices, and shops all remain open on December 25, but the Christmas spirit may be missing. These countries are\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Cambodia, China, Comoros, Iran, Israel, Japan, Kuwait, Laos, Maldives, Mongolia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Thailand, Turkey, The United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Taiwan<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0observes December 25 as a constitutional day, and it is not an official holiday in the country. However, numerous sectors do provide an off, for the date is the anniversary of the 1947 ROC Constitution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pakistan<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0observes December 25 as a public holiday in Pakistan, but not in regard with Christmas. It is the very same date that Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Know more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"half\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/events\/holidays\/christmas-trees-around-the-world.html\">Biggest Christmas Trees<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/world-top-ten\/tourist-destination-during-christmas.html\">Top Christmas Destinations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"half\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/around-the-world\/christmas-myths-and-legends.html\">Christmas Myths and Legends<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/religion\/where-is-christianity-dominant\/\">Where is Christianity Dominant?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related Maps and Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thematic-maps\/world-arab-league-countries-map.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thumbnails\/world-arab-league-countries-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Arab Countries Map\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arab Countries Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thematic-maps\/muslim-countries-in-the-world.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/islamic-state\/maps\/thumb\/muslim-countries-in-the-world-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Muslim Countries\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Muslim Countries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/world-top-ten\/countries-with-most-arabic-language-speaker-map.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thumbnails\/countries-with-most-arabic-language-speaker-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Arabic Speaking Countries\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arabic Speaking Countries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; From magical parades to decorative gardens, from gorgeous Christmas light displays to Christmas songs on the radio \u2013 countries around the world are witnessing beautiful festivities, this time of the year.
