Salim Rashed Suri is an Omani icon having formed Gulf culture through developing the sound of the Gulf through his music.

But it wasn't always that way... in fact his road to "success" was largely due to failures which resulted in him coming full circle back to Oman where he was born. 

Here are some additional article about the great khaleej musician.

I've heard the argument that Christians are wrong to celebrate Christmas... and I can understand that view point given it's DARK pagan history (i.e. lawlessness, rape, human sacrifice) (Here is one of hundreds of links you can find on the origins of Christmas and Saturnalia. https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-rome/saturnalia

BUT Christians are observing a "religious holy day" that is "Required" for holiness or spirituality... in fact christianity "forbids is the celebration of religious seasons or holy days when they have been prescribed as religious duty and necessary for holiness or spirituality."

BUT--Christians can commemorate any day without judgement as long at it is done for the right reason (AKA it can't be for religious merit) 

Here is another link https://bible.org/article/should-christians-celebrate-christmas (again one of hundreds google will provide you with.

With that said... I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

This thanksgiving, Arrow and Aiden (my two oldest sons who are 6 and 4), come on the show and talk about:

1. Their love baseball the one true American Sport
2.  Importance of practicing when we don't feel like it
3.  How to healthily confront bullies
4.  And the Thanksgiving story.

The depth of content and wisdom of hard work and confronting bullies (which wasn't planned or prompted) was surprising to me. 

As adults we can easily over complicate how we should best deal with "bullies" in our lives. There are powerful lessons to be learned through the simplicity of children view of the world.
