Hmm I wonder why Christmas, aka the celebration of the Birth of Christ would be smaller for non Christians :chuckles:
Yeah it has become commercialized but do you really think it is that big a deal for someone who is of a different religion?

Is it a time of gathering for you and your family? If so that's cool. That is part of what Christmas is about.
Oh and I'd choose Christmas. Much more special time for me and my family since there is the whole religious aspect involved.

You are celebrating the commercialized part of it. Do you think you would be celebrating if it was just all about the Birth of Christ who is not important to the Muslim Faith?
