    Default the Christmas spirit in Europe

    It seems that christmas spirit doesn't have much to do with believing in Christian religion.

    What do you count as Christmas spirit?

    Spending on gifts?

    Christmas spirit isn't the gifts but to go to the church on that day AND if possible every Sunday

    Musement wanted to find out in which countries in Europe Christmas is lived most intensely. To make the ranking, the average monthly Searches on Google of 10 Christmas terms in 41 different countries were analyzed. The results reveal that, in Spain, located in the intermediate positions of the classification, these dates are lived with much less effusiveness than in other European countries, especially compared to Norway, Germany or Austria, the three countries with the most Christmas spirit in Europe.
    chritsmas terms and countries.

    I said that because countries very religious like Poland or Italy don't have more christmas spirit than others much less religious like Norway or Denmark.

    The Advent calendar, christmas carols, belen portal... are no material things.

    And anyway, many saint customs or traditions come with things you have to buy or build.

    The crucifix in the church for example, it's a thing they have to buy somewhere.

    You can reduce the construction of a church, monastery or whatever to a shoopping list.
