   No Christmas for you than? They even have Christmas in Japan and South Korea, even with the tiny number of Christians, and it’s extremely widespread among the _________. Whatever their biggest religious sect is. Buddhists maybe? I’m too lazy to look it up just now.

   And the comic isn’t quite right, they took over the day, yes, but not the customs. You don’t see Christmas trees until the 16th century, just as an example. It was a great idea, but they didn’t just copy cat, they replaced one celebration with another, and some similar customs crept in over the centuries.

   Happy Christmas all the same.
