New Year is not a Christian celebration so if you don't mind I have edited your comments to reflect that. How many Muslim countries are there in the world and more to the point - how many give holidays to non-indigenous non-Muslims?

Neither is christmas a "christian holiday" as most christians liek to believe.

Check the link for history on christmas. BTW...its from a christian site..not a muslim one.

heres an excerp.

Church leaders adopted a pagan holiday, in spite of the protests of some godly local pastors. It was considered idolatry to do this, since it was nothing more than a heathen day of worship. In addition, the day for this worship had been selected in honor of Mithra, the sun god. December 25 was dedicated to the keeping of his birthday. Therefore, sincere Christians considered it to be a form of sun worship. The sun had reached its lowest angle in the sky on December 21 (the winter solstice), and the 25th was the first observable day in which it began rising in the noon sky. So December 25 had, for centuries, been celebrated as the "birth of the sun god."

But earnest believers recognized that Christians dare not accept pagan practices or pagan holidays. Those heathen customs could not be found in the Bible, so they ought to be shunned by conscientious Christians.

The Roman world was essentially pagan and many converts to Christianity had come to enjoy those festivities, and did not want to forsake them after baptism into the Christian church. When these half-converted church members rose to leadership positions, they made policy changes in agreement with contemporary heathen customs. And that is how we got Christmas.

And yet Muslims refuse to come to my house, the house of an athiest, because a party in December might be connected to Christmas.
 
Is The New Year Not A Welcoming Of Another Year Of Christ???

Because it is a pagan festival....so we would not want to be mistaken of taking part in a pagan festival. Or even be mistaken for taken part in a christian festival by someone who dosent knwo better. Besides...if u serve alcohol in ure parties then this mite be aniother reason y ure muslim friends may not want to visit u at these parties.
