The main spot for Christianity is Bethlehem Jerusalem and Ariel those have the largest populations of Christians.
Christmas is just like any other day in Israel. Since most of the population is Jewish or Muslim (neither of which celebrate Christmas), people go to work on Christmas. Of course, there are some Christians in Israel (mainly messianic Jews). They would celebrate Christmas in the same way as other Christians do.
Also, there are many Russian-born Jews who celebrate Christmas.
Jerusalem's population is divided principally among the Abrahamic faiths - 64% Jewish, 32% Muslim, and 2% Christian. The two majority faiths (96%) do not celebrate Christmas. The Christian minority holds services in various areas significant to their beliefs and private family observances.
The Christian Israeli population celebrates Christmas, but Christian Israelis make up less than 1% of the Israeli population (which is mostly Jewish and Muslim). Christmas is not a national holiday in Israel and is normal workday.
