The government of Pakistan has proclaimed Monday, December 25, as a public holiday in observance of the two celebrations. People from all walks of life can make use of this day off to celebrate Christmas and consider the legacy of Quaid-e-Azam.
In Pakistan, Christians celebrate their holidays well into the following day. Tuesday, December 26th, has been set aside as a Christian-only holiday, giving Christians one more day to observe and celebrate Christmas. Because of this considerate arrangement, Christians in Pakistan can celebrate two holidays in a row, which promotes inclusivity and longer celebrations.
These December holidays provide Pakistanis of all backgrounds opportunities for reflection, unity, and celebration as the country unites to remember its founder and embrace the spirit of Christmas. Both whether celebrating Christmas or remembering Quaid-e-Azam’s vision, the end of the year is sure to be a time of joyous celebration and togetherness.
