In another year that has been tough for Pakistan and particularly tough for minorities in Pakistan, another Christmas approaches. And like Christmases all over the world, Christians in Pakistan prepare to celebrate in their own ways.

In churches all over Pakistan, in communities, on streets, in mohallas where Pakistani Christians live the festivities have arrived. Sometimes modest, sometimes elaborate, everywhere present. I noticed it this morning when passing though a part of F-7/4 in Islamabad where many Christians live and where rides for children had been placed and buntings were being put up.

To share that spirit and to wish all Pakistani Christians a Merry Christmas, here is a sampling of recent photographs of Christmas preparations, Pakistan style. The first picture is from Peshawar, the next three from Lahore and the last two from Islamabad.

    Merry Xmass to all of my fellow Pakistanis (Christians & Non-Christians) . We should all celebrate our differences and the diversity and make this country a better place for us and our future generations.

    Tanveer, the best thing we should gift our Christan brothers at this occasion is to try our best to Protect “Blasphemy Law” which also provide protect to them.

    Supremacy of law should be the basic demand.

    I am also sympathetic with all those Christians who are fighting & killing Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia & Yemen. They should go back to their homelands & should celebrate their events with their families
