My friend is getting married on 10th Jan 2011 and reaching Pak on 20th Dec from Doha to Pak and wants me to be there on 21st Dec for the shopping and preparation of his big fat Pakistani Wedding.

I wanted to be here for some new year celebration bu i guess it wont be possible :(

Hey Abdu I see you are from Saudi so maybe you will be able to 'share' with us some of your culture during the year end.  For Westerners you will know back home for us is a time of celebration but for us in Saudi it is not.  However, it is always a good thing to see one year out and a new year in and we would be intrigued to have a "Saudi" experience; so, maybe you can share with us any Saudi events going on that Westerners would be welcomed to attend?  Also, my call for who will be in town works both ways, by seeing who will be here it is also a call to everyone to think of things we can all do.

Haven't you worn enough makeup for one year? People will start to talk... :D

Go - I'm in India for Xmas but think of us when you're all partying hard :)

Nonz - can you grab some shalwar khameez for me while you're over in Pakistan? They have the best!

Will be here on Xmas and new years. There isn't much that gives you the festive feeling in riyadh. So its up to us to make it happen..
Let us know if something comes up!

correct. easiest way would be to have a get together , cut the christmas cake, have some fun games if families and children r joining, then have some  dinner ( cookies also should be fine), have some chat and then disberse, this looks to be a perfect plan that suits every body

i will be here during Christmas ...... anything planned please let me know.
