We celebrate Celestial Chinese New Year, which is close enough to Christmas in terms of jolliness, presents, and, well, celebration in general. It is also quite close in terms of the dates.

In other words, we celebrate the Asian version without a fat red man riding on a sleigh

Yes. In fact we have two Christmases: one for the Protestants and Catholics and another for the Orthodox.

Kind of. Christmas is recognised as holiday on a federal level. However, the majority of the population is either Sikh or Buddhist with Christians accounting for less than 5% of believers.

Yes, we do. But it isn’t treated like a strictly religious holiday. Think about how the US does Christmas.

Massena being a largely Judeo-Christian society, the Mass of Christ, also known as Christmas, is one of the most important holidays in the country, if not the most important.

Christmas is celebrated in Atlantis, from early-mid November to early-mid January.
Uses certain NS stats.

Atlantis is an MT nation that is the third richest country in the world, behind only China and the United States. It is closer to the USA, UK, Italy and Spain (in that order, though Italy and Spain is probably tied) culturally than it is Greece. It is also a naval power.

And no, Atlantis is not underwater: It has a land area around the size of France.

Pros: Classical liberalism, democracy, the West, Brexit, Viktor Orban, free education, strong military
Cons: Authoritarianism, fascism, communism, multiculturalism, Islamism

Yes Christos celebrates Christmas, along with any other festivities during the month of December. We refer to all the festivities as The Holliday Season.

During the Holliday season a national Santa is chosen for the nation. He represents the Holliday season. His successor is chosen when the National Santa Claus decides to retire or passes away.

No, but because other countries do and Radiatia tends to manufacture and export a lot of consumer goods that become Christmas presents in other countries, factory owners tend to celebrate Christmas in terms of the large amount of money they make from it.

We have our own twist to it, yes. It is a national holiday and known to most as just a Winter Solstice celebration. However, it is the few times the religious are allowed to congregate as we are a state atheist nation, and so you'll see our Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, Jews Hanukkah, those of African heritage Kwanzaa, pagans with their various traditions celebrating Yule and others... it is a very good arrangement and it's a national holiday for the government employees as well.

Which means you'd see high-ranking officials partying with Statecapistani citizens. It brings trust and unity. Happy holidays from Statecapistan to every nation in the world! :hug:

Christmas is not celebrated at a national level in Eastern Gaau at all. The number of people adhering to Christianity is nearly nonexistent (the same for most non Emperor-worshipping religions).

The small number of people who are Christians (mostly expatriates or defectors) do celebrate Christmas, although these ceremonies are usually private due to the backlash that could ensue if one practices their religion in public, as it is illegal to practice any religions except the worship of the Emperor in public.
