Assalamu aleikum,
A good reminder sister. I think it may be some difference on WHERE we live. IF living in a non-Muslim country, this is an event built up around you, truly difficult to avoid in our daily life, when going shopping and so forth - and then you have to stay very strong to ignore all of this. But for example where I live, there is very quite and I cannot hear or see anything of these activites around me, and that is soooo - alhamdulillah! But true strength comes from Allah, SWT so I know you all will be doing just fine We have Someone guiding us through all stages and steps of live insha'Allah.
Wasalam
