What ever happend to WINTER SOLTICE, people?!?!?!
I understand fully.

When I get no cards or presents :P

i love winter for the snow mostly. driving in it is fun
but I'll say, working in a grocery store that plays the same damn 7 or 8 christmas songs over and over and over all day long gets really old

I just did some research. Very interesting.
Christmas in the Muslim world

Another view from Britain.

Can a Muslim say happy Christmas to his friends? - This Britain, UK - The Independent
