It’s that time of the year again from Mo Salah. Consistency is key! Merry Christmas from the Salah household.

@elamin88 tweeted:

My fav Christmas Eve tradition is when Mo Salah posts his annual Christmas tree photo and then he receives a lecture from every grumpy Muslim uncle about why that’s haram and then the post evolves into whether a single Christmas tree is gonna annihilate the entire Ummah

@EricNjiiru added:

Merry Christmas from Mo Salah. Another year for people to get annoyed and unnecessary noise.
