Thankyou Margaret -same to you and of course to all who read this...

I'll be going to see the Live re-enactment of the Nativity in our village on Boxing Day, it's beautifully done - the 3 wise men are Africans who live in the village -and non of them are Christians but they seem to enjoy taking part every year!

As for barking up the wrong tree, open mindedness and acceptance of others appears to be a cardinal sin here and as you all seem to have failed to see that I posted the fact I believe that christmas should not be banned (which i believe to be the original discussion) however individuals should be allowed to celebrate in their own way without prejudice (a concept which seems lost on you) I will endeavour to put my time into something more productive. They do say you can't educate pork and that certainly seems to be the case for some people round here. Noone has asked you to change or alter your beliefs but in this so called season of goodwill to all men, one would expect you to respect other peoples.
Oh god how many times have we to say this its not about you, I don't give a damn if you worship a monkey dressed in yellow polkadot bikini, its about dogooders second guessing what other religions want when they don't want it END OF STORY

It's your fault, lending him your score predicting medication.

The only intolerance I've seen in this thread comes from yourself.

Aimed at those, of all, an no religion, who are looking forward to celebrating Christmas.

Yes, perhaps we must.

As everyone's still waiting for you to answer the question, as to which person in this country is being forced to believe in Christianity, and made to celebrate Christmas, against their will.

Perhaps you gave the answer, using such small type, that everyone's missed it.

Care to post it again?

I can see a theme on here these days, people not answering reasonable questions seems to be catching
