Holidays - December 2007

Assalaam Aylekuim

I live in England.. and it is generally good to be a Muslim here. In my city there are many Muslims and it is easy to practice Islam. There are many mosques and it is easy to buy Halal food.. Women are protected in hijab and we can take time off from /schools work for Eid.. And generally we have good relations with none Muslims.

We have small problems.. with the media that it is always printing lies about us.. and some pratice of Islam is too cultural and not pure Islam.. but that is about it.

What is is like praticing Islam in your country?

Christmas is coming up and I have no idea what to get for my dad. He litterally likes nothing aside from watching tv. He is 49 years years old. He does not like to go out, he doesn't rent or watch movies (becaue they all come on cable or movies on demand). Last year I bought him the season My Name is Earl, and it hasn't even been opened it (he has a DVR, so it's pointless now). But, he doesn't play any sports, he doesn't dress up for work or any other occasion, so ties and such are out of the question. I used to get him gift cards, but he never used those either...my mom would end up spending them. My budget at max. would be $200 If anyone can help please let me know. Thank You!

Christmas time approaches us.

For the majority, this means that it is time to start wondering what cool things you will get for your family, and if someone will buy you an iPhone or “Superbad” on DVD.

Many Christians claim that Christmas is a day that we should remember as Jesus’ birthday and that we should never forget it.

Along that line of thought, some non-Christians don’t like Christmas, because they claim it is a 'Christian' holiday.

But are these claims true? Should unbelievers resent the Christian aspect, or do we Christians have even more reason to resent the ungodly merchandising?

Is it too reigious, or too worldly, or just right in YOUR opinion?

Lol, I was just asking how Hanukkah was celebrated in your family. Because lately Ive been noticing my family gives out...like too much. One of my friends gets one small gift each night. Another gets one big present on the last day. In my family each of us get one small present and one semi-large present, and on the last day we get a really big present(like an i-pod or something[im getting a touch!!XD])

how is it in your houses?

If Santa's so unhealthy and needs to lose weight. . . why has he lived so long? I love Santa being fat and jolly and I've been hearing some groups today think Santa's providing a bad image for the young children being brought up in today's world, but yet he's outlived everyone so far. What are your views on this subject? Just have fun with this.

In todays United Sates, people are offended very easily about Christmas!! I am only 12, I wrote this on my own, and im not afraid to express my opinions! Today I was sent to my principles office for saying Merry Christmas!!!!
We live in a Christian country and we need to keep our traditions. Sometimes its ok to just go to your roots and do what you think is right, and not worry about what others think of you. Please for one day PLEASE! Thank you for your time

i once was a very concerned muslim...i made sure i prayed 5 times a day, and finished off each of my prayers with one readng of the Surah Yaseen...i say all the duas before doing everything, and for those which i did not know,i said Bismillah hir Rahimanir Rahim... but now i am partially neglecting, but i hate that i am doing so.. not that i dont pray at all, its just that if i miss my prayers, i dont feel that fear i used to feel before... please help me my brothers and sisters...help me strengthen my ties with my religion, my faith in Islam..i believe in Allah, but my fear for him is lessening, help me please..!

It may be the wrong spelling as I heard it mentioned in two movies. Obviously I know what ham is but what makes "hickery" ham different?

Stores typically will say "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings," as they take your money. I'm tired of everyone being politically correct.

Merry Christmas everyone!
