Mr Bloom Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Driving around the city, I've seen a few houses decorated with fairy lights. At first I presumed some people had still got their lights up late after Christmas. When I drove through Fir Vale the other evening, and saw so many, (and realised that so many were green in colour) I realised that it must be to celebrate Milad un Nabi (the Birthday of the Prophet Muhammad). I've never noticed this in previous years. The houses look lovely all decorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifein Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks for that information Mr Bloom, I didn't realise that was the reason for the lights, it is good to pass on facts like this using the forum, sorry that other users don't understand that.

dutch Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Are these little green fairy lights? My neighbour was complaining about little fairy lights in sheffield as well. I have seen a mosque entrance covered in them. Â Has this anything to do with islamic or indian culture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claiireee Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm pleased you posted this too. I see green lights and green flags every year but have never known what it's for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bloom Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thank you very much to the posters who got the point and posted positive answers! Â Â Sorry, to the others if I caused confusion. I just thought some other forummers might have been in the same position as me, and mistakenly thought they were late Christmas lights, and might have liked to know why there are lights up at the moment.

dutch Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Some houses look like they are more bothered with Christmas than some other festival. Â Why are people annoyed by them? What is the problem? Where does that annoyance come from? Â I don't care if people have those lights, they are not making noise and are not directly interfering with what I am doing or where I go. If these little lights are a problem then car traffic on the road is far more interfering than those little lights.

Unitedite Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ah, I'd been wondering about that as well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
