I do not celebrate Christmas and don't live in a mostly Christian populated country, however there are many Christians here in Pakistan, they go all out to make their day special, Once when I in was in United States, I liked what I experienced in Christmas, all the sharing kids writing their wish list for Santa Clause the innocent child like feel. People sharing their blessing was a big part of Christmas, but still in a very non-materialistic and simple way... I like the festive feel of Christmas and the excitement. Christmas feel is no less than Eid-ul-Fitr feel in Pakistan and month of Ramadan feel in Saudi Arabia . The festive mood of Christmas is very contagious in United States stores to hospitals, schools to malls, you will see stockings, goodies, and hear jingle sounds and bubbly Santa clause cheering kids in the mall...and those photo shoots too, almost everything gets wrapped up in a big Christmas gift wrap .... it gets cozy and great time to spend with family, combined with winter break, it becomes fun for all including the non Christians , everyone had something to celebrate...
All religions teach love and sharing no matter what you call it, Let’s celebrate the similarities instead of looking at the differences!
Happy Christmas!
