what do you celebrate?

[torkham]

When I meet Afghans and Pakistans visiting Dubai, I have observed their ways, many celebrate:

birthdays [singing 'happy bird day to you . . . ']
New Year (Gregorian), and go to parties, champaign popping and kissing
father/mother day
Valentine's Day

others celebrate christmas (for their children's sake so the children don't feel left out - yes indeed!!!)
Ameriki independence
Thanks giving

Eid Fitr and Qurban
Lailat miraj, qadr, miladan nabwi
august 19
Urs (celebrating wali's)

Me, me and my kor do not celebrate birthdays, new years (not even nauroz), father/mother days, valentines days, christmas, thankgiving, july4 - only the 2 Eids - the only celebrations.
Oh afghan independance day is enjoyed with reserved pride, and a shifty eye on all foreigners.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PF COMMUNITY CELEBRATES AND WHAT IS NOT CELEBRATED

we celebrate birthdays for children under 10 sometimes. we have always been celebrating mother's and teacher's day. we have started buying my father a tie for father's day recently.
not a big fan of valentines day. nawroz, lailatul qadir, shab e baraat and both eids are a big deal in our family.

[Haris]

I only celebrate the two eids.
Not bothered at all with these other celebrations.

My family however do celebrate birthdays (not celebrate but just buy a gift and cake), the kids do something for mother's/father's day and my mother makes aft mewa on nawroz although she doesn't celebrate it. But things like new year, christmas, valentines day, easter, pancake day and these things we don't celebrate.

[Sheenka]

we celebrate, birthdays, mother days, woman days, new years and independace day of afghanistan.

Being a Muslim I celebrate only two Eid.
