[Grigori Rasputin]

being here I learned that there a lot of weird Somalis with weird behaviors.

 

[Bahal]

Nowadays Birthdays and baby shower have being normalized.

Birthdays and babyshowers are hella commonplace, especially babyshowers.

There was a period in time I remember some sheikh deeming birthdays haram, so some ppl including our family would deceptively celebrate on the day b4 or after the actual bday instead, but that soon passed at our house. Some ppl still play that

Some families, including mine, have thanksgiving dinners.

We were allowed to go trick or treating, but my parents never handed out treats themselves.

We always stayed home on Valentine's day in elementary school. My parents didn't like the idea of little kids being urged to write bs love-notes to each other.

Maxaad ku dambeysey? Diinta ma ka baxdey

Khaniisnimo is fine right !

The right to take your own life is cool with you right !

The right to demand people treat you like a chimpanzee is cool right ! Cause it's a human rights issue, right !

Birthdays when we were younger, baby showers are done by the younger generation and my parents had no problem with us going to trick treating on Halloween.

Halloween and Birthdays are pagan traditions. Baby showers are normal to be honest, it is good to give gifts to someone that is expecting a baby. I know Somalis in Australia and New Zealand use public holidays to organise their own get togethers but don't celebrate these public holidays. I genuinely doubt that many people practice holidays, and if they did their family and friends would probably tell them off lol.

Wait Somalis don't do baby showers? My mom told me she used to have baby showers in Somalia. It's called Kuur or something like that, they would host breakfast and lunch for wadaads to make dua and then in the afternoon all the ladies would get together. Baby showers are not Dambi.
