Going away for Xmas? What to pack

Which countries celebrate Christmas? Christian countries, former Commonwealth countries. For example: USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa.  In Europe France, Belgium, German, Spain. You will also find Christmas celebrated in other countries according to the old calendars, in January.

To avoid Christmas, you could go to Israel or one of the Moslem countries where Xmas is not a national holiday so you are sure to get meals from restaurants which are open and have normal prices. You might wish to take your own Xmas goods for private celebrations.
