Tishwash: Christmas trees start at 2000 dinars.. Even the poor celebrate
Gift shops in the Tuwayraj district of Karbala offer a “Christmas” tree and various gifts at reasonable prices, amid great demand ahead of Christmas, which has become a general occasion not limited to Christians, according to the city’s residents.
Abu Zahraa – a resident:
I love these days because they bring joy and renewed hope for the future, as they link the idea of the end with the beginning of a new year.
On the last day of the year, I gather with my brothers and sisters in the large family house, and the women make sweets and decorate the house with festive signs to spend beautiful times.
At the end of each year, I review the history of events and achievements, and I stand by my mistakes and try not to repeat them, and I set goals for the new year.
I wish everyone a happy year full of joys and delights, and may goodness spread to our people, our beloved country, and to the peoples of the entire world.
Durgham Al-Bahrani – gift seller in the women’s market:
Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ is no longer limited to the Christian component, and in recent years families in the Hindiyah district have begun to pay attention to this occasion to celebrate, break the work routine, and look forward to a more beautiful new year than before.
Parents are keen to buy Christmas trees and decorate them, in addition to buying Santa Claus costumes, which children love so much.
Even low-income families celebrate New Year’s Eve, and lovers exchange gifts.
Prices were high in previous years, and with the increase in demand and the multiplicity of origins, the price of Christmas trees decreased, ranging between 2000 – 130 thousand dinars, and we have sizes and prices that suit everyone.
Ali Al-Khafaji – owner of a gift shop:
Demand for purchases is good and increases as we get closer to New Year. Demand is not limited to families, as many young people buy gifts. Link
