Memories of a (British) person: Christmas.

So, the other day I was talking with the sister of my one (half British) (half Sudanese) friend, about her plans for the holidays back in England (she's going back for a couple weeks).

I asked if her (British) mom had converted to Islam when she married her dad, but she said no, and in any case they always celebrated Christmas, even when they lived in the Sudan: they used to have this plastic Christmas tree they would pull out and set up, and they would give each other presents in the immediate family, and on Christmas day they would have their (Muslim) extended family over for a party and dancing.
