Muslim Man Celebrates First Christmas And Goes Viral After Sharing Observations on Twitter
Muslim Man Celebrates First Christmas And Goes Viral After Sharing Observations on Twitter
This year, Mohammad Hussain celebrated Christmas for the first time.
Since he was unable to travel home, he decided to celebrate the festive season with his roommates in Canada.
He shared his “anthropological observations” on Twitter where he received praise and recognition.
Among many others, Justin Trudeau replied to Hussain and confirmed that his observations were correct.
Hussain explained that, prior to this year, he had never celebrated Christmas.
Due to the pandemic, Hussain was unable to go home to spend the holidays with his family. Subsequently, he decided to celebrate Christmas with his two roommates in Canada. Moreover, he decided to approach the holidays with “anthropological precision” and share his observations on Twitter. Thus, he published a thread in which he explained that he had never celebrated Christmas before and that he had never realized just how much work, time, and effort people put into this holiday.
First, Hussain observed that celebrating Christmas feels like having a part-time job.
Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations. pic.twitter.com/1WARv5nax4 — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Observation 1: Christmas is a part time job that you have from mid-November to the end of December. From the outside looking in, Christmas always seemed pretty simple. I always thought you put up a tree and then gave gifts to family. This is a lie. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Do you want to sleep in on a Saturday? Too bad. Go put up some lights inside the house. Oh you want to sleep in on Sunday? Too bad. Go put up some lights outside the house. Next weekend? Nope. Every free moment you have will be spent agonizing over the gifts you must buy. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Then, he shared his observations regarding traditions and Christmas gifts.
Observation 2: People have very strong feelings about their Christmas traditions. If someone is insisting that *certain food* is what you have to eat Christmas morning, because that's their family tradition, DO NOT SUGGEST ALTERNATIVES. They will stab you in the neck. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Observation 3: You can buy yourself a gift but you can't stuff your own stocking. I don't understand this one but I told my roommate I bought stuff for my stocking and they said that's not a thing. I don't care. I bought myself mint chapstick and I will fake surprise. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Observation 4: Your gift budget does not matter. You can set this budget as high as you want but the perfect gift will always be $10 too expensive. There is no winning. Just give up. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
To truly feel the Christmas spirit, Hussain even bought a ‘keeper’ ornament.
Observation 5: There are two streams of Christmas ornaments. The "fillers" and the "keepers". The fillers are the generic ones. The keepers are meant to be more special and unique. This second stream is stored in your family's reliquary to be one day passed on to the children. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
My roommates encouraged me to buy my own keeper ornament. They told me to find something that made me smile and that was special to me. I bought this one and I am very happy. It is an everything bagel. pic.twitter.com/dbrTZQzK47 — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Observation 6: ORNAMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE. That cost me $15.99. That's more than three everything bagels. I am furious. For what it cost, you best believe that I am insisting that it be passed on to my great grandchildren. If they break it I will haunt them. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Finally, he commented on religion and Christmas ‘menus’ before announcing his conclusion.
Observation 7: The religious aspect of Christmas is optional. I really like this one. If I was to suggest having a secular Ramadan to my mother she would have a heart attack. I will however be trying to get my family to do a Secret Santa for Eid. The name's being workshopped. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Observation 8: You need a "menu". Yeah… This one is where they lost me. Last Christmas my family ordered Popeyes and watched a movie. My roommate has an entire menu with wine pairings and desserts planned. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
To wrap things up I want to applaud longtime Christmas celebrators. This is a lot of work and very tiring. I will say I am having a very pleasant time. I am learning that I enjoy Christmas music and gift purchasing. I am also learning that I do not enjoy peppermint. — Mohammad Hussain (@MohammadHussain) December 19, 2020
Hussain’s Twitter thread quickly went viral as it brought joy to thousands of people.
Twitter users praised Hussain for his observations. Moreover, they explained that his posts had warmed their hearts as they reminded them of just how special the holiday season truly is. Among the numerous people who praised him, Justin Trudeau also commented on Hussain’s post.
Yeah, that about sums it up… thanks for sharing what you’ve learned so far. Sophie and I are sending you and your roommates our best wishes this Christmas, and we’re glad to hear you’re enjoying it all so far! — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) December 21, 2020

Doctors in Covid-19 hotspots say they will face ‘horrendous choices over those who live and die’ within DAYS
London patients in extremely bad condition will be moved to Yorkshire hospitals as the UK’s NHS is facing a massive COVID-19 crisis.
According to the Health Service Journal, there have been requests to transfer intensive care unit patients from the capital to a few big hospitals in the city of Yorkshire.
It isn’t yet clear whether the transfers have already started, according to Mirror, which also claimed that one person has been transferred from East Kent to Plymouth.
The decision comes as intensive care units in London and the South East are being overwhelmed with patients, according to leaked NHS data.
On Monday intensive care units in East England were at 100% capacity.
It is being projected that numbers will substantially rise amid the new wave of patients.
London’s number of confirmed COVID-19 patients in critical condition more than doubled in a matter of two weeks.
NHS staff are at breaking point. They are trying to speak up about how bad things are on the frontline but are being shot down on Twitter. Today we learnt that we have more patients with COVID in hospital than ever before in the England. This is not a drill. Please believe us 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/2ADRik5jIS — Dr Samantha Batt-Rawden (@sbattrawden) December 28, 2020
While patients in critical condition have been moved to different hospitals in the past for all kinds of illnesses, long transfers are uncommon.
A senior critical care source told the Health Service Journal:
“While we’d usually keep (ICU) mutual aid within a region, it means the whole country is stepping up to support patients.”
A clinician from London added:
“Capacity in London is looking very serious at the moment: the numbers are still going up. “Several hospitals are either at or near their full surge capacity.”
NHS data shows that there were 20,426 patients in NHS hospitals in England at 8 am last Monday, compared with 18,974 on April 12.
We are reaching a critical point in our ability to effectively care for patients in the NHS. The action of everyone makes a huge difference, in particular in what happens in several weeks time when this situation will otherwise be even worse #HandsFaceSpace #SaveLives https://t.co/3i6wKrSx61 — Duncan Bew (@duncanbew) December 28, 2020
The rising number of cases has led some medical experts to call for stricter lockdown measures.
According to professor of infectious diseases epidemiology at University College London, Andrew Hayward, widespread Tier 4 restrictions – or higher – will most likely be needed as the UK moves towards “near-lockdown”.
Mr. Hayward told BBC’s Radio 4:
“I think we are entering a very dangerous new phase of the pandemic and we’re going to need decisive, early, national action to prevent a catastrophe in January and February.”
On the question of whether a national Tier 4 lockdown should be ushered in, Saffron Cordery, the NHS Providers deputy chief executive told BBC Radio Five Live:
“I think we need to see, yes, as much of the country as possible in Tier 4.”
She stressed that some trusts have reported up to 3 times the number of COVID-19 patients as at the height of the first wave.
As of today there are 20,426 Covid patients in hospitals in England – the highest number ever recorded, even at April's peak. There is no denying the gravity of where we are. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Staff are on their knees. Please do not believe anyone claiming otherwise. — Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) December 28, 2020
Attesting to the seriousness of the situation, experts in the midst of the coronavirus battle have found themselves just days away from having to make “horrendous choices” over who they can treat and who will be left to die, a consultant warned, according to the Daily Mail.

If you are, by any offchance, on the lookout for a bone-chilling, potentially lethal book, look no further…
In this article, we will delve into Shadows from the Walls of Death: Facts and Inferences Prefacing a Book of Specimens of Arsenical Wall Papers. The book was published back in 1874 by Doctor Robert M. Kedzie, a Union surgeon who served during the American Civil War and later rose to become a chemistry professor.
86 of the book’s 100 pages are samples of wallpapers with arsenic pigment people used to decorate their houses back in the days.
Although arsenic was known to be a toxic and potentially lethal substance, people weren’t aware of the fact that it could kill even when simply used as an ingredient to give life to the colors of a wallpaper. However, Mr. Kedzie knew all this, so he released the book to warn people of the hazards involved.
A shocking 65% of wallpaper in the US contained arsenic at the end of the 19th century, and Kedzie was already aware that over time, the wallpapers would release the poison that could kill those who lived near it.
It ended up on people’s hands, in their food, in the air, it made them ill, and sometimes ended their lives.
In an attempt to make more people aware of the potentially fatal dangers of arsenic-infused wallpaper, Kedzie sent out 100 copies of his book to various libraries in Michigan, along with a note explaining the book’s purpose and an urgent warning to librarians not to let kids touch the toxic pages.
Kedzie’s Shadows from the Walls of Death had numerous arsenic-covered wallpaper cutouts he had obtained and served as a stern warning to those who dared pick it up.

iheartintelligence--2020-03-30--Rubbish bins overflow with discarded food due to coronavirus panic shopping

Loaves of bread , unopened packs of meat , and fruits and vegetables have been carelessly dumped after the coronavirus panic shopping .
Panicked shoppers have been recently discarding the fresh food they have been buying during the first days of the pandemic .
In a Twitter post , Ajit Singh Atwal shares photos showing rubbish bins in Derby overflowing with out-of-date food .
“ To all the people in this great city of ours in Derby , if you have gone out & panic bought like a lot of you have and stacked up your houses with unnecessary items @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have bought in more food than you need , then you need to take a good look at yourself.
” The post quickly went viral as many people were furious , calling out the behavior of the stockpilers .
Additionally , similar scenes were reported across the country , including Frankby , Merseyside .
Many netizens are certain that something needs to be done against throwing such great amounts of food .
This horrific trend comes as Britons are told to only leave the house once a day .
Shopping is allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more , supermarkets are offering elderly customers priority time slots .
They are also cutting down the number of people who can shop in the store at the same time .
All the assurances from the UK government and the industry , that there is still plenty of food and supplies for everyone didn ’ t stop panicked people from over-shopping at the beginning of the pandemic .
According to Mail Online , during the last half a month , Britons have stockpiled food worth £1billion , as a result of panic buying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s CEO , Dave Lewis , is encouraging people to free-up delivery slots for online orders to the elderly and vulnerable , and to go to stores instead .
However , this means that queues outside the supermarkets will continue to elongate , as shoppers are obligated to keep distance while waiting to enter the stores .
Lewis wrote in a letter to his customers : Stephen Powis , the NHS England national medical director , accused panic buyers of depriving healthcare staff of the food supplies they need , saying : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Plenty of people agree with the director ’ s position on the subject .
The online supermarket Ocado has been working at full capacity throughout the crisis .

Moreover , he encourages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ limit physical contact .
Coupe continues : Additionally , Sainsbury ’ s chief executive admits that many customers have reported that they are struggling to book online delivery slots .
To these reports , he answers : “ We are doing our absolute best to offer online delivery slots to elderly , disabled and vulnerable customers .
These customers have priority over all slots .
Our customer Careline has been inundated with requests from elderly and vulnerable customers – we have had one year ’ s worth of contacts in two weeks .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ had already given us information that meant we could identify them as being in these groups.
” By March 30 , the total coronavirus cases are 19,522 , with 1,228 deaths .
A senior government adviser suggests that the figures would continue to rise for at least the next three weeks .

The adviser says that the UK hospitals should be able to handle the situation , but admits they can ’ t guarantee it .

This horrific trend comes as Britons are told to only leave the house once a day. Shopping is allowed only for essentials. What’s more, supermarkets are offering elderly customers priority time slots. They are also cutting down the number of people who can shop in the store at the same time.

“Our social distancing plans aim to protect customers from the moment they enter our car parks, to browsing products, to paying and finally exiting our stores.”
Stephen Powis, the NHS England national medical director, accused panic buyers of depriving healthcare staff of the food supplies they need, saying: “Frankly we should all be ashamed.”
Plenty of people agree with the director’s position on the subject.

Rose himself has self-isolated after suspecting he had contracted the virus. He genuinely calls on people in the country to ‘make your meals work’.
“You can make a relatively small amount of food go a long way and I think we live in a very profligate society today – we buy too much, we eat too much, we consume too much and we have to learn new ways.”
Similar to Tesco’s CEO, Sainsbury’s chief executive Mike Coupe wrote a letter to his customers. There, he explains that the number of people in stores and at ATMs at any one time will be limited.

Additionally, Sainsbury’s chief executive admits that many customers have reported that they are struggling to book online delivery slots. To these reports, he answers:
“We are doing our absolute best to offer online delivery slots to elderly, disabled and vulnerable customers. These customers have priority over all slots.
