We're travelling by air on Christmas day. I mentioned that at services last week and discovered that several others are doing the same thing. I think a lot of Jews and Muslims might be taking advantage of Xmas day airline specials.

Give gifts. Have a tree with a star of David. Mix marriages will have a mix more open minded and maybe reform will have a tree with a Star of David and give gifts in just the tradition of giving gifts. Many Jews have many non Jewish friends so giving and accepting gifts and cards are not a huge deal. Orthodox family I doubt anything relative is allowed, I have heard of allowing kids receive gifts though. younger Muslims have secular and Christian friends so I figure the celebration of gifts and eats is accepted to certain levels. I mean so many people who celebrate Christmas are pretty secular and the thought doesn't cross their mind about what the day is about to be honest.

I'm Muslimand my husband and I just do what we usually do. Pray 5 times a day, sometimes go to the park if my husband's not busy and watch TV or rent a movie from Blockbuster. But Eid Al Adha will be ending on December 24th 2007(The 2nd Muslim holiday) so we'll probably eat something good like sheep Kabbsa.

Well Muslims do not celebrate Christmas and Jews celebrate Hanukkah which is a few weeks before Christmas so...nothing special.

It's a family tradition every year, we gather up the entire family and drive around the neighborhoods, looking at and critiquing all the elaborate decoration lights and stuff. Some folks realy go overboard, but it's fun to see what is different from year to year.
It's the best time to do that...
It used to be just us, now there is a whole army of cars that do it too...

What was it like yesterday? The day before? Why would it matter what we, the muslims, did on Christmas?
Since its a public holiday in my country, I get to catch up with my sleep, since I always slept late and rise early. Wash my dirty laundry, waxed my bike, and watch the back of my eyelids, play with my kid, that's sort of things. Very human thing, you know.

Does it really matter? I suppose they eat Breakfast, lunch, dinner, watch a show on T.V. Clean the house. Whatever they do on other days, Or maybe they have a type of Christmas celebration.

What do you do on Rosh Hashanah and Eid ul-Fitr?
Those holidays aren't important to you so you do whatever it is you normally do, right?
It's kind of the same thing except that Christian holidays ended up being national holidays so mostly everything is closed.
So they do whatever is open. I know a lot of Jewish people who go to the movies and get Chinese food. They can't go to work because it's closed, and practically the only things that are open are movie theaters and Chinese restaurants.

I had a Jewish friend that told me his family called Christmas "Jews-go-to-the-movies" day.

The same thing Christians do on Ramadan, Eid, Passover and Chanukah.
