good morning everybody welcome to
Wednesday it's a little bit on my
earlier side that my kids are getting
ready for preschool as you can hear and
I have my printer going off because we
are getting papers printed out for our
letters and stuff like that good times
anyways but I just wanted to jump on
here and chitchat with you guys for just
a few minutes I just wanted to also you
know talk about yesterday's video a
little bit you know I've been pretty
flooded with text messages and emails
you know discussing this situation about
the holidays and things like that
and I just want to kind of go into a
little bit more explanation I guess I
didn't really like go into pure
explanation I guess I didn't think I
needed to but I also kind of see that my
video yesterday is kind of making it
look kind of sour on my part so I think
explaining it a little bit better will
just be better for everybody
so I explained yesterday that my family
does not celebrate Christmas or
Thanksgiving due to my childhood growing
up it was a very dark time for me yes
you can you can say that that is selfish
you you honestly can say that selfish
Christmas we don't celebrate due to my
religion now also I didn't like
Christmas either but it wasn't a holiday
that I never did celebrate it I
celebrated it when I was younger and I
lived at home but I just don't celebrate
it as an adult now because obviously in
Islam we don't celebrate Christmas not
saying Christmas is a bad thing please
don't get me wrong and I don't judge
anybody that does celebrate Christmas
everybody I know celebrates Christmas I
don't think anybody think bad about
anybody and I would never cast judgment
against anybody either and I would hope
and pray that people would feel the same
way about me just because we don't
celebrate Christmas doesn't mean that
we're a bad family when it comes to
Thanksgiving
there's a few I guess history reasons
why we have also chosen or I have chosen
per se to not celebrate Thanksgiving it
has absolutely nothing to do with Olli
first of all I had a few messages of you
know you're losing your American
traditions due to your husband no all he
has nothing to do with this
he never celebrated Thanksgiving before
because in Egypt you don't celebrate
Thanksgiving clearly so for him he
didn't even know what really what
Thanksgiving was but I'm the one that
has chosen to not bring Thanksgiving
into my family in a kind of way and I
guess I'll explain that why so the first
reason why I've chosen to not celebrate
Thanksgiving is one because of what it
resembles in my life as in it was just a
day like I remember more hardships with
when it comes to Thanksgiving than good
times and I already went into kind of
explanations of what had happened on
Thanksgivings and stuff but also if you
look at the true the true thing about
Thanksgiving it's not all about Pilgrims
and you know feasting and all of that it
was a massacre thousands died on
Thanksgiving they lost their lives on
Thanksgiving so when you're celebrating
Thanksgiving you're celebrating the
massacre that happened and I will try
and find a clip and I will try and
insert it here where you can kind of see
what I'm talking about
and you know the thing is is that they
don't they don't teach that stuff in
history in school they don't they don't
teach that they teach that it's the
pilgrims but the Mayflower and you know
yes the
the story is correct to a point but then
they left out a big piece of it so in
reality you will actually find more
people do not celebrate Thanksgiving
then do celebrate Thanksgiving that
shouldn't make me a bad parent because I
don't bring Thanksgiving into my home we
we love Turkey I mean like I said to you
guys before will go and buy three and
four turkeys and have Turkey throughout
the year it's just something we like so
for us Thanksgiving made honestly is
just another day for us it's not like
it's a big deal and Christmas when it
comes to Christmas yes Christmas was
celebrated when I was younger it did
resemble pretty sad times for me but
there was good times too I'm not gonna
say that everything was sad I'm not
trying to make myself out to be a victim
but it is something that I have had to
deal with but also as I've gotten older
and I converted to Islam and you know
and I left the Christian faith Christmas
is resembled about Christ's birth and
that is a Christian and I think Catholic
I don't know of anything else that
celebrates it for Jesus's birth I don't
know
but anyways if you take away the Santa
Claus and the lights and the stockings
and the reindeer you would get the the
whole meaning of Christmas is
celebrating Christ's birth and in Islam
we don't celebrate that and that's okay
I shouldn't be judged because of that I
should be judged and viewed as okay you
know what
she has different viewpoints she is
sharing those viewpoints with her
children no if my kids grow up and they
choose to celebrate
something that I don't it doesn't make
them a bad person and I would never
throw them out of my life i i will
respect my children's wishes all around
I will never make my children feel like
they are wrong for doing their choices
when they're older you know we we
excitingly anticipate you know New
Year's because that's a big day for us
I've made that day a big deal and that's
exciting for our family now like I had
said yesterday people have asked if they
could send gifts to the children and I
said yeah that's fine
excuse me I woke up with a really bad
sore throat so I'm having a really hard
time talking he's playing that that is
Omar you guys that is over that's what I
deal with 24/7 he is the loudest kid I
have ever met he's out there playing and
I he's probably playing oogie-boogie
whatever oogie-boogie is I don't know
but he runs around screaming that he's
running from oogie-boogie I'm like well
you better not bring okie boogie into my
home
yeah keep him outside um anyways but
people had asked if it would be okay if
they said still sent gifts to my kids
and I said absolutely that's fine I'm
not saying that you can't send gifts to
the kids that's not what I'm saying at
all and somebody said well you're a
hypocrite because you don't celebrate
Christmas but you're still accepting
gifts well I made it very clear to that
if you want to send gifts I'm absolutely
okay with that but I would ask that we
can open them on New Year's Day rather
than on Christmas Day or not on
Christmas Day but any other day and not
promote it as a Christmas gift but more
is like a New Year's gift and the people
that have asked totally understood and
was like absolutely that makes them much
sense the ones that have an issue with
it I can guarantee you are the ones that
are not sending a gift to my kids so
therefore there's really no reason to
worry about it I know that my name still
land sour in a lot of people's mouths
and I wouldn't ask you to change that
that is your choice but I think at this
point I have shown you all once again
the person that I am some say well
you're a scammer okay if that's what you
want to call me fine you know that I
can't stop
a bit some want to see I'm you know I'm
a hypocrite okay fine
that that's okay you have the right to
say that but then I have some amazing
supporters that wholeheartedly support
me in every way shape and form and know
that I'm not any of those things I was I
don't think I ever said I wasn't going
to record in December but I have to
people so maybe I made it sound like
that but I had to separate people say I
think it's a good idea that you don't
record the whole month of Nova are the
whole month of December and just take
that whole month off now I had stated in
one of my other videos that YouTube is
my job YouTube is what I do for a living
do I make enough money off of youtube to
support a household far from no no maybe
I guess gossip tank I guess I take a
tank of gas look I can't talk right no I
don't make that much money on YouTube I
wish I did but I don't
I do do YouTube as more of a hobby I
mean yeah it's my job but it's it's also
more of a hobby because I don't make
money on YouTube like like I said to
support even a bill so I'm not gonna go
and take off a month of work just
because I don't like December because if
I worked and it's not even that I don't
like the month of December I just don't
celebrate Christmas that's it there's
nothing bad about it
um but you know if I worked at Macy's or
Kohl's or something like that I would
have to be helping decorate the store
for Christmas time and stuff like that
I'm not saying that it's like an
exorcist moment when someone disgusts at
Christmas or you know something like
that that's not it at all and I mean
there is so many Muslims I do celebrate
Christmas that's their choice and nuts
there that's the right you know we all
have our own rights and that's my right
to say hey you know what we don't
celebrate Christmas and that's okay
even in schools these days they don't
celebrate Christmas it's basically
winter is what is they even like
Jeremiah being off a school it's winter
break you know everything's about winter
or harvest fall things like that they
don't do typical you know the what the
holidays resemble in in each of those
months you know but also I can click
back a little bit and think to myself
you know when I did live at home and I
was being raised Christian I remember we
did not celebrate Halloween and
everybody else around us celebrated
Halloween but we didn't get to celebrate
Halloween we didn't get to watch hocus
pocus movie this year is the first year
I ever ever ever ever sat and watched
The Nightmare Before Christmas I have
never watched it why because we weren't
allowed to watch it when I was growing
up and I know the people I'm not saying
names because I don't want to bring
attention to them but I know they watch
my channel and they're gonna know
exactly who I'm talking about
we didn't celebrate Christmas or
Halloween did we die no did we feel left
out no it just was a day that we didn't
celebrate okay yeah we get it get over
it you know and that's the same thing is
Christian's majority of Christians that
I know do not celebrate Halloween these
they may celebrate harvest some do and
some just don't do anything on that day
does that make them a bad person
absolutely not does that make him a bad
parent no that's the same thing as with
us we don't we choose not to celebrate
Christmas but we choose to celebrate New
Year's why does that make us wrong why
does that make me a wrong parent why
does that make me a selfish parent
because I don't celebrate Christmas and
like I said when it comes to
Thanksgiving so the the weekend after
Thanksgiving we always do a turn
turkey dinner like the egyptian-style
and then like I had said before on New
Year's we make the traditional american
turkey dinner which is like the turkey
and all of that stuff now there's a lot
of things that I'm not promoting into my
diet at this time and so things are
gonna have to be changed around anyways
so the typical turkey dinner because my
kids don't eat like green bean casserole
they don't like that stuff
so they like the turkey and mashed
potatoes and stuff like that so you know
I'm going to do some altering for my my
plate um but you know my kids will eat
it and enjoy it and we'll make great
memories with that but just because
we're not doing it on Thanksgiving
doesn't make us a bad family or bad
parents or selfish at all
you know when my kids grow up if they
want to do it on Thanksgiving go for it
they may not because on things on New
Year's Day they know they're gonna have
a celebration at mom and dad's house
same with Christmas we don't celebrate
Christmas if my children grow up and
they want to do it with their kids
that's up to them I cannot tell them no
when I can't tell them yes but while I
have them in my home we don't celebrate
Christmas and that is my prerogative
that is my choice I am mom awliyas dad
this is how we raised you when you get
to be an adult you can choose just like
I did when I was at home we did
Christmas when I grew up and I did my
research and stuff and changed my
beliefs then I chose not to do it and
that again is the that's the good thing
about becoming an adult you get to make
choices and things for your for yourself
and make your own family traditions some
could say you're a quack Amy and you're
just have lost your mind okay that's
fine you have your opinion and that is
okay I respect that 100% I just wish
that you know people would look at it in
a viewfinder of what I'm looking at it
and just be really cautious and
compassionate when you're talking to
people because I have received some
major major abuse of emails like freaky
out like calm down type of emails so
anyways
I just want to come on and explain that
I am because I just didn't want people
to think otherwise and now I'm off to go
and do preschool with the kids and all
he had an interpreting job that he
because he does interpreting on the side
of his other job that he does he
contracts with like the courts and
police station and hospitals and he
travels to different cities and so today
he had a even though it was his day off
from work he had another job a side job
for the interpreting so anyways when he
gets back then we're gonna run to the
store get some gas and things before
everything closes for the day or for the
week well they'll close tomorrow and
then be open most likely Friday besides
I think like state offices I think are
closed on Friday if I'm not mistaken but
anyways I hope everybody has a blessed
day and I'm gonna say Happy Thanksgiving
to everybody that does celebrate
Thanksgiving I hope you guys have a
wonderful day with your guys as families
and I will be thinking about each and
every one of you until then talk to you
guys later bye bye
