Well, in Holland there is a "Second Christmas Day" (also an offical
holiday) and it has nothing to do with giving gifts. Giving gifts (and
teasing the giftee with funny rhymes) is done on the evening of Dec 5, the
day before St. Nicholas' birthday. Of course, stores have been encouraging
gift giving for Christmas as well, for quite a few years now. It is all
too long ago for me to remember exactly, after 38 years in the US ...

It wasn't the celebration of it, so much as the name it was known by.
