welll...christmas is here!! YAY!! goodness i love it. now, if you're a muslim and you're reading you're probably thinking that beena is an abomination to islam. well too bad.
i don't think i have a single christian friend who reads the Bible with their family on Christmas day and drinks a glass of wine and recites hymns about the Virgin Mary. ANYONE can celebrate Christmas. ANYONE because giving gifts to people and decorating your house is never wrong. It's really not a big deal. My other Muslim friends kinda look down on me cause my family celebrates it and it's surprising cause they're from the same generation as me so i'd expect them to understand, but they don't. It's not like my family goes to church and does anything related to Christianity we just like it because the decorations are so pretty and we love the smell of christmas trees and we love decorating them and we like giving gifts to each other. there's nothing wrong with that. it's a beautiful holiday, it really is. the packed shopping malls, the xmas lights, ornaments, happy christmas music, sparkly wrapping paper, egg nog..."christ" is just in its name. when we muslims celebrate it, we're not celebrating it FOR christ, we're celebrating it because it makes us feel good and it's fun to participate in it or else you look like a boring loser. My family has a tree set up and gifts underneath because it just looks so nice. that's all. i don't see how in any way we are disrespecting our own religion.
Tomorrow is my annual CHRISTMAS PARTAYYYY!!!! I'm excited, there's so much to do! baking, shopping, cleaning, calling. it's gonna be a busy sunday. but i'm excited. it's Christine's first time coming to one of my christmas parties so i'm veryyyyy anxious.
ASB delivered stockings stuffed with kettle corn, candy and starbucks to all the teachers. I had to deliver stockings in a t-shirt and vest in 50 degree rainy weather! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH?!! but i suppose i had fun along the way. i wanted to go to wendland and deshan but someone else covered their buildings.:( i was dressed up as a cute little elf. :) all red and green'd out. i love my asb family. i really do. i was the photographer of the day and took pictures of all the asb'ers during class. i sent em to steph, caused she asked me to, but she didn't even use them. i dont't think she likes me. she's kinda not nice to me...but it's okay. i'll still be nice to her. :) lunch took place in the asb room that day for it was freezing outside and christine, daniya and myself wanted to stay warm and dry. we had fun taking more pictures.
anyway, christmastime has been fun. it started off terribly but it's gotten a lot better. it actually feels like christmas now and i can't wait til December 25th to open up my gifts and drink egg nog!! Christine's birthday is also on monday! OOOOH I CAN'T WAIT!! i can't wait til she opens her gift!!! WOOOOTTT!!!! life's been swell...i gotta say.
until then...merry christmas everyone!
