I had never experienced a Christmas 'season' until I went to Bangladesh. Since Christians, and advertisers, are a minority in Bangladesh, there is no prolonged period of jingles and Christmas advertising campaigns. However, the Christians do participate in a variety of celebrations for many days prior to Christmas. Christmas services are also rather long, compared to Western churches. I think this is because 'Christmas dinner' is NOT a Bangladeshi tradition!
