The Catholic and Orthodox churches are less tolerant of those sorts of things, so people in countries with heavy influence from those churches - like yourself - won’t have had anything like it.

You slightly missed with your reasoning of my case: Ukraine is an exUSSR republic where religion wasn’t actually encouraged, so we don’t have any secular traditions about religious events. But because of the hardships of life, religion has crept back during the last 30 years and so have religious songs and traditions. As a result, Christmas is a purely religious event here, and it is interesting only for religious people.
