I hate it when people in Syria use Merry Christmas and Joyeux Noel as a Christmas greeting. It makes one feel like Christmas is a non-Arab tradition that we learned to observe. It is not! Christmas should not be "less Arab" than Ramadan or Eid El Fitr. Christmas celebrations should maintain the original touch of local identity: Flashing milad majids instead of Merry Christmases and resounding Laylet Eid instead of Jingle Bells.
Milad Majid everybody!
