When i arrived in France, i couldn't help but notice that people celebrate New Year ar 25 December instead of 1st January.
eventually, after learning the language, I understood that it is actually another thing altogether!

I'm Muslim too and I always find it interesting to see how various non-Christian theists observe Christmas. Obviously we don't "celebrate" but I personally don't see anything wrong with partaking in the secular parts of Christmas (and let's be real, in the west, it's pretty much all secular).

But my favorite was Christmas 1999. My girlfriend was out of town with her family and there was no reason to go home to mine, so I was alone (my roommates wer…
OK, i am ignorant, but why do most Jewish people eat Chinese food on Christmas? Is there something I am missing?
