Hm.. I suppose it heavily depends on religion, since cultural tradition tends to somewhat intertwine with it. It wouldn't surprise me if countries that have large Roman Catholic populations (e.g., Scotland, Ireland, Italy) celebrate Christmas in the same way. Countries with large populations belonging to various Catholic denominations (Anglican, Protestant) probably do it the same.
I personally always thought the tradition of celebrating on Christmas Day/morning was a predominantly Western thing (but I'm mainly jumping to conclusions).
I spent a few hours playing Shadow of the Colossus. I figured out how to enable 720p on my PS2 games, since my TV supports it, so now I have incentive to go back and look at shinier graphics. :\
