guess i wasn't feeling very ecumenical on that day

I thought it was the Romans, who killed the then thirty three year old Baby Jesus?

Nasty old Herod missed him.

anything that makes the world a brighter place, if only for a few weeks is fine by me.... you never know one year the world may just find or remember the true meaning of Christmas...

Each year we have a minor conflict about when the tree and decorations go up. I personally would like everything to go up on Christmas Eve (make it a big festive event, put the tree out and pressies under it then put stuff out for Santa etc) and Chris would like them to go up at the beginning of December - no point asking the kids because they want them up some time in September. So, every year I hold out for as long as is possible with Chris and the kids bugging me to be allowed to put everything up. We end up compromising when I've finally had enough of the pressure!

As for cards - I think you should only send them to people that you're not giving presents to or likely to see. I also feel the same way about birthday cards - it's nice if someone doesn't give you a pressie if they remember your birthday with a card but why bother if your handing something over?

I'm not happy about xmas as i used to be years ago, now im only happy because my son is growing and cant wait his face when he opens his xmas presents.
I get fed up with xmas before the day arrives because people starts very early with decorations and buying presents and all that.
I remember my mum never used to put the xmas tree up until 5 or 6 days before xmas, we used to live our xmas tree up till january the 7th because is bad luck to take it before (aparently).
I get very sad at xmas because i wish i could be with my family, yeah i know i made the choice to come to live to england but that doesnt mean i cant miss them.
Anyway,xmas for me now is more for my son, cant wait to see his little face when he opens his presents

Everyone seems to be loosing the christmas spirit

Its all good fun , its nice to decorate your house for christmas and to all as a family decorate the tree!

And cards are also a good gesture at christmas it take only takes a few hours to write them and a few hours to deliver them and some people apprechiate them very much.

Cumon people get into the spirit

Decorations should actually be taken down by January the sixth, otherwise known as Epiphany, or Twelfth Night.

The 7th of January is known as my birthday, or in Cahy's case the day he has to remember to buy a birthday card for his Missus.
