Very interesting topic!!!In this part of the globe where I live, the very concept of Christmas celebrations itself have steadily been declining among the people or believers for that matter . Frankly speaking, apart from Government department offices, most shops, markets & businesses in the city and other parts of the country remain open for businesses ,as people struggle to make ends meet. People are more concerned with how they will take their children back to school come the start of the new year school term than blowing all their hard earned money on a few days celebration, well knowing that January is a tough month financially. Meanwhile those who chose to celebrate and enjoy the season are free to do so . Other religious group do not take any offense, instead most join in the celebs,the only change i have noticed over the past 20years is that people are so much weighed down with the numerous earthly problems that they "NO LONGER GIVE A DAMN" about this Christmas thing !
They instead pray for the celeb days to be quickly over so that they get on with their lives.
