to the scrooge type characters amongst us...

do you celebrate New Year? I mean you have an excuse not to as it not based on the islamic calender. What do u say? Who’s up for a party? :slight_smile:

Re: to the scrooge type characters amongst us...

hahah you know the best way to celebrate the new year is to call one of your newly 'committed' and non-single friends a minute before the clock strikes and start discussing global warming or some crap! hahaha ;)

^^ that is super-scrooge type behaviour LOL, thinking up ways to mess up someone else's celebration.

Re: to the scrooge type characters amongst us...

This is my first new year with my fiance so Im wondering what we could do that is halal and fun.

Any ideas? :)

What do you mean by scrooge types? Anyhow, I neither celebrate xmas nor new years.

^ I take it you havent seen bill murrey's classic s.c.r.o.o.g.e.d

:D nice...

I'd like to ask Brother Quraysh if he sees the irony of "tolerating" the holidays of one of the religions from which our religion derives?

You don’t have to celebrate by getting drunk! You can always go out with friends.. I’m going to go out with friends and watch the fireworks along Dubai Creek and Jumeira :wub:

Re: to the scrooge type characters amongst us...

nothing to celeberate as one can't bcum the part by being at the roads in pakistan nor can 1 be the part of hilarious parties so the best way is to take it as a usual day. in reality nothing changes, everything is the same. so why to enjy?

Re: to the scrooge type characters amongst us…

I cant celebrate it because my Family wont let me stay out for a whole night :snooty: :frowning:

I always associated scrooge with miserliness/greed but that doesn't really make sense in this context.

Re: to the scrooge type characters amongst us...

^^ well scrooge would sit at home and count his money instead of spend a few $$££ on enjoying the atmosphere

i do not see any reason to celebrate jan 1
