Yes, there are. While at the United States I'd be considered a extremist liberal, over here I'm a mid-conservative.

But regarding this specific subject, not really. Even though the massive majority is catholic (I would say something like 95% of the population, with something like 3% jewish and 2% from other religions), something like that over here would be absolutely unthinkable. People from other religions even reference the holidays as christmas, and integrated their own religious beliefs on this particular celebration, such as having a party or something. If you take a look at Japan, you'll see that something similar takes place: while december 25th is not even a holiday, people exchange gifts and give out christmas parties.

Kinda like Bart Simpson once said "Christmas is that time of the year in which all other religions gather up to praise Jesus Christ." (don't remember the exact quote).
