I have seen a sister witch this November... but unluckily we live very far from each other. We are used to meet only during very special Sabbaths. :wOOt:

These Muslim guys I live among don't celebrate Christmas.
All they do is they sacrifice a goat/sheep/lamb in Eid Al-Adha and then get gifts to their young, get five days off and go to the mosque.
You do see Christmas trees and everything to celebrate the New Year (except the Chamapagne that is), but no Santa Clauses or anything of the sort.

In pakistan, there's alot of decorations in shops and those areas plus xmas trees and all. Some candy shops even give away free candy. And also have santa clauses. Also the church bells ring and everything. I dont celebrate xmas but its nice to get into the feel of the celebrations  :)

Well, Eid al-Adha only happened to occur in late November this year :P
Remember the Muslim celebrations run on a lunar calendar, so they're not quite in synch with the calendar we use. :ninja:

Yes like jorge says, all our events run on lunar ways rather than a fixed date. So in Eid ul adha, there's animal slaughter, gift sharing and lots of family gatherings. I like the gift part  :lol3:
