What your boundaries with Christmas?

[Fey]

Yeah I don't care.

Happy Festivus y'all.

[Alphanumeric]

I don't say merry Christmas but I reply with "you too" but I will say happy Holidays. Never gone to a Christmas party not because of deen but because I'm no good at parties. Might go next year. Just had my first Christmas dinner. Very enjoyable but nerve wracking.

What are my boundaries?

Don't celebrate it. Do i wish others 'Merry Christmas' sure doesn't mean i have become a christian. I am just wishing them a great time.. .not a great time worshipping Jesus but you know ....having a much needed rest, enjoying their time with their families etc. It improves community relations when people start becoming aware of other people's special holidays.

I remember an Afghan friend of mine being pleasantly gobsmacked that i sent her by text the night before a happy Nowruz greeting. The next day yidoo wali yaaban she asked me 'how did you know it's Nowruz i myself barely remembered it.' I was 18 then and in uni...not a lot of ppl that age know about Nowruz or what day it falls on. I was the only one who wished her a happy Nowruz. I suppose it's the sort of feeling we get when Non Muslim colleagues/neighbours/friends surprise us with 'Eid Mubarak' 'Ramadan Mubarak' greetings.

Christmas?

... Oh, you mean Giftmas!

Say "Thanks for the sentiment, you have a good one" ..collect your presents.. thank them.. eat their food.. thank them again

Its just a holiday It has no more to do with Jesus than halloween does with the dead or thanksgiving with the pilgrims and Indians

Never went to an xmas party and prolly will never go. Just the other day @ Walmart, the cashier wished me a merry xmas She seemed very sincere too. I gave her a look that was somewhere in between "you ignit fool" and "shawg she's being forreal". Got my things and mumbled yeah, you too Then it hit me that I can be a very awkward person

I was heading to the shisha spot 12 hours ago and a man with his dog said "Merry Christmas" to me as I got out of the car. I was so excited I mumbled "Merry Christmas" and the happy middle aged man looked at me if I was one of those Happy Holidays anal people. His big huge smile turned into a fake smile and walked away. I think he thought I was being offensive. I couldn't even understand what I said - forget about if he understood. As he was walking away, I tried to say Merry Christmas but I mumbled again. I don't know wtf happened. I think I was just overly excited

I felt so sad. He thinks I'm one of them people. I couldn't even enjoy my day. I heard 100 Happy Holidays but only 1 Merry Christmas. But I'm kind of suspicious as to why he said Merry Christmas. He looks like those white guilt liberals and I'm clearly Somali. I think he figured my irreligious ways due to wearing a scarf. I noticed Muslims don't wear scarves. Its just a thought. I'm not entirely sure

I am,
