Muslim-Canadian's 'first Christmas' goes viral

A Muslim man's experience of celebrating Christmas for the first time has struck a cord after he shared his observations of the holiday.

Mohammad Hussain, who lives in Toronto, decided to celebrate the holiday with his two roommates since they were all in lockdown together.

His initiation into the Christmas spirit - from tree trimming to meal planning - left quite an impression.

So he shared his "notes" on Twitter, where they quickly went viral.

Now, the 25-year-old student is looking forward to his first-ever Christmas morning.

"I'll feel like Harry Potter," he told the BBC.

While Mr Hussain had celebrated some aspects of Christmas before - such as attending office Christmas parties or going to a friend's house on Christmas Eve - growing up in a Muslim household, he had "never done the whole production, because there was no reason to".
