The truth is Christians cannot exercise their faith publicly in Saudi Arabia instead, they can exercise it including Christmas celebrations inside the home or inside the Embassies, Consulates or in a chosen safe place.

There are many ways how Christians celebrate Christmas in the Kingdom such as:
- Dancing Party by invitation
- Eating Party by invitation which is my favorite
- Mass Prayers - administered by some Christians Ministers
- Beauty Pageant
- Parlor Games
- Singing Competition aside from Karaoke and Videoke
- Exchanging of Christmas Gifts
- Beach Party - started on the 24th of December to Christmas day
- Visiting some of the Kingdom's Treks
- Malling - to spot Big Sales during this season and many more
- Chatting with family on Internet and etc.
Christmas food to prepare
When it comes to food for Christmas - anyone can prepare all types of food that he wanted to eat on Christmas. Almost all are here except pork. From all types of cakes, sweet and pastries to "kakanin" for the Filipinos including "bibingka, poto and especial poto bongbong" are available in the Kingdom.
My last word: Merry Christmas
So for Christians, to celebrate Christmas cannot be stopped wherever they maybe - they are there to celebrate it in many ways!

Yes. Ms. Sheila in other ways since it is not tolerated by Saudi, so the celebration is actually done in secret places. Thanks. Merry Christmas.
