Pretty much every Muslim country. Also interesting to note, that while say, UAE is on this list, they do have a very lavish official Christmas celebrations in the country (as evidenced by the recent 2 Million Dollar Christmas tree)

CAman, I would be a bit worried if the Vatican did not celebrate the birth of the very man their entire country's existance is based upon... And johnlk, it is surprising. So is the DRC, which is over 90% Christian.
