Xmas RANT

What an odd time Xmas is for. REVERT in the uk. especially the only revert in your house.WORSE if you have children who you haven’t been forced to revert as many reverts do to their children, yep shakes my head .

It’s not only a time of your pages being flooded with xmas posts and twinkly lights but also muslim pages bashing anyone that dare to uphold family traditions connected to the time of year and their culture.

This is the thing I think that gets missed allot and thats that whilst yes many do celebrate Christmas for the religious reasons many of us celebrate XMAS with absolutely zero religious attachment to it what so ever.

For many of us this was always a time of year where all the family had a few days off we would get to see people we hadn’t for a year all come together and eat and share time with each other. there were no church services or prayers or nativity sets in the house nor were there any greetings other than the usual happy XMAS then it was never mentioned again all day, we didnt watch religious tv in fact we would usually watch die hard or the great escape a war based movie or Oliver Twist all xmas classics in my home growing up and then listen to your great uncle and grandparents bang on about ‘in my day in the war’ as they sip on they gin and tonic or port

Whilst some have then go on when disproved and argued oh its a pagan tradition I would argue having been a pagan for 35 years before I reverted that actually NO xmas day and Yule are not only two totally different things but also they fall on two totally different dates.

So its a weird one as we have our cultural ties and family traditions calling us on one hand and misunderstanding and attempts at Shaming us for them on the other in the form of public judgements and social media posts

one thing needs to be made clear, at no point as children growing up did many of us associate the time of year with god so why would be now as reverts ???

I think the need for understanding doesnt fall on the head of reverts this time of year and instead falls up on muslims to educate themselves as some of the posts are simply ignorant and narrow minded and having been on both sides of the coin…. embarrassing.
