>And I can't remember if some form of Christmas exists there or not.

They do have Christmas, although it corresponds much more to the modern Western secular version (as commonly practiced even by atheists like me) than its classical religious aspects, and in the twentieth century, very few people know why it's called that. It's the kind of thing that turns up in newspaper Did You Know? columns around that time of year.
