Oh yes…** I have a lot of planning for a christmas tree…not only that but my hubby has bought a costume for santa claus which he will wear that night and distribute presents among kids Lol… oh… im so snxiously waiting to wish Marry Christmas to everyone**

Aren’t you the same one who was opposing Thanksgiving on the other thread?

Ok. The only thing that I don’t get is, for whatever reasons some Muslims celebrate/(or just exchange gifts… ainwaeeeen on ) such occasions… Why don’t non-Muslims, goras and kalas, celebrate Muslim’s occasions? Like Eid, like Bari-Eid, not exactly the same way we do but maybe exchanging gifts on eid or distributing Eidis among their kids… chalo aiwaeeeeeen hi sahi!!!

That’t the point deeba. Why don’t they think they can enjoy our festive and what makes us think we enjoy their festive?? And ok, if we think, it’s because they don’t find interest in it, what do we do to make them feel interested in our religion?? Our festive? We might take part in their festive taking this as a custom thing, or proving ourselves as open-minded towards them as RG mentioned but sometimes it can turn the table… they can treat it as our Kamzor Iman, (while it isn’t), they might think, oh these Muslims, they can celebrate anything. When a large Non-Muslim community can be stiff about NOT celebrating our occasions why shall We?? Why don’t they worry about proving themselves as very welcoming and open-minded community?? Why don’t they care? Why don’t they even enjoy?

Again, those who couldn’t get me, just mentioning once again… celebrating such events according to me here are NOT, being happy or not, or cursing blah blah. I went to town last evening and my motive was to shop for my baby… there I saw they were having fireworks and I pretty enjoyed it, I stood there, I captured pics, but that DOESN’t mean that I was celebrating it. My definition of celebration is, If I were going for shopping for the solely purpose of Christmas Shopping… For Partying, For Halloween, For Easter etc etc. Now that’s the difference. It’s not like, fireworks ho rahay thay and main BUUUTT banke wahan se nikl aayi ke Huh, to kia hua, unka religion hay… mein kyun enjoy karun. Its NOT like that. I am talking here about those, who celebrate it the genuine way
