MILAD MAJID WA MAO SAID! (Merry Christmas 2007 and Happy New Year 2008 )

Christmas in Lebanon is an important event that even Muslims decorate their homes and trees.

The Christmas of my childhood is different from that of today. The priorities have changed. The festival is far too commercialized nowadays what makes losing the spirituality of yore. Yet I love the period from November to December in Lebanon.
I try to give to my son, the true meaning of Christmas Fathers who are on every corner, the meaning of each tree decorated, and each building dripping with light, as did my parents before me. I would learn to share what he had, even if it does not have a lot, with those (and especially children) who are poor or who are not lucky enough to have parents like him.

The celebrations of tree in lebanon 2007 begin in November:
The exhibitions “Special Christmas” accompany us until the end of the year, the windows are red and gold, the streets are brilliantly lit, parishes are in competition with one another to see who uses the best nurseries (to trace, with characters carved size, the life of Jesus Christ, the result is … scenes breathtaking.

The enthusiasm we all live with the approach of the day J.
the children look forward to the gifts they have ordered to Santa Claus. Forget about guns, revolvers and other types of weapons that most Lebanese offered to their children during the war (circumstance requires), back to the culture!

On Christmas Eve 2007 all my sisters (we are 5), their children, meet with my parents (my husband and I are in agreement now that we know-10 years – to spend Christmas Eve with my parents, and the feast day to his own home, and it works!)
Everybody puts a hand. It prepares turkeys and the “Moghli” (kind of dessert that the Lebanese are expressing their joy at the birth of Christ).
The tree is there in the corner from Saint Barbara (December 4), we only have to file the gift that will open on Christmas morning.
After dinner, the whole family goes to church for midnight Mass.

There is a tradition in Lebanon, and I always practice with my husband: To serve the large family of (Grandparents, uncles, aunts) respect and love that they door on the day of the visit Christmas with gifts and candy, and in turn, they come to us at New Year to thank us for our attention and bring gifts with them.
The social side is very important in Lebanon. This is accentuated during the holidays or families are closer than ever.
