Envoyé par ilioucha We wish you a merry christmas we wish you a merry christmas we wish you a merry christmas and happy new year!

Ewww... let's not overdo it either! I'm feeling like cruising a mall right now. Hey, have you seen poor old Rudolph? Poor guy, must've caught a cold being sneezed at by so many kids: such a big red nose...

Envoyé par missmoi is here a non-muslim that celebrate us holydays!!?

salam alaykoum,

actually, yeah, there are a lot of non-muslims who fast during portions of ramadan and partake in community iftars -- you'd be surprised! also, my family invites our (non-muslim) neighbors and friends to celebrate 3eid with us each year, and in turn they invite us for their celebrations. that's the beauty of living in a multicultural community, everyone shares their traditions and practices.

and having a christmas tree and decorating the house doesn't mean that one isn't a faithful muslim

I totally agree. Two friends of mine have done just that this year, and they're all for it.
