It looks (kinda) like Christmas


Last year there was not much to see to remind you of Christmas. This year it seemed like there were many more decorations. This giant 2 story Christmas tree at a local mall is pretty amazing for a Muslim country. (How many Ramadan Kareem signs did you see in the US in September?)

Some of the efforts get an A for effort... but are not convincing. Poinsettias? Very Christmas. Fake foam snow? Not so much, but thanks for playing.

  1. What does a Ramadan Kareem look like? Happy New Year Steve!

  2. Hmm. Not sure. There aren't many overt signs of the religious holidays here - like the Easter bunny, Christmas tree, reindeer or Santa.

    I hadn't thought about that before.
