LOLLLOLOL - yes for sure. ā€œOne dayā€ weā€™ll have christmas decorations up on every street and christmas songs on every speaker in public malls and courtyards and christmas specials, episodes, and movies on every channel from October to January. Pretty sure that one day is now and has been ongoing. Donā€™t worry - christmas seems like itā€™s enjoying a very strong public celebration.

Fair enough, how about Muslim and Hindu. Also, non-believers. For example, today is a winter solstace.

We're beginning to see more Diwali celebrations popping up, with public fireworks and other showing of lights.

As for Muslim holidays, I don't think Eid al-Fitr has a public festival component, but there will usually be extra sweets at work.
