Never saw a Muslim flying over a Christmas tree before
but it does add a unique twist to the typical star or angel right?
Snow Days at Hisar School in Istanbul. We had snowball fights, 1/2 days of lessons and a 30' tree in the foyer. Sure feels like Christmas and I'm loving it.
Christmas in Istanbul
You might think Christmas in Istanbul is not a big thing
since Turkey carries 99% Muslim population, however you should keep in mind
that New Years is not celebrated in many countries around the world and it also
reflects on Istanbul where the streets are lighted up and even Christmas carols
are heard in shopping malls (although not to the extent you would hear them in
NY). The city also carries over 100 active Christian churches although her
Christian population is not that big anymore.
