It's a day before this so called 'Christmas day,' Adrenaline kept pumping in...the joy and excitement was in the air. Bahlul just couldn't get why there was so much excitement. He had seen stuffs online about the Christmas thingy. He had read stuffs about this Christ, whom was being celebrated but he just couldn't get the hang of it.

He got out to his balcony to take a look on what was going on outside, that was when he heard the song 'Silent night' he was drawn to the song. He listened to it to the end. He was amazed at the excitement but couldn't get why. He sat there enjoying the Christmas melodies that gradually put him to sleep in his balcony.

The season of joy - Christmas

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
He could hear his neighbors shout it to one another. Wishes were everywhere! Gifts were shared. Oh! What a day of joy it was for everyone but Bahlul. He had to sit all alone in his balcony and watch everyone enjoy Christmas. He couldn't celebrate Christmas because Christmas isn't celebrated where he is from.
