"I go to Bangkok every year to escape Christmas and New Year. Great for kiddies, but a money-grabbing pain in the ass for grown-ups." 
Oh how I wish I could escape too (her) | |||

"Before I had my son, Christmas was just another day in my house. Whilst I detest the britain first crap that is trolled out, please spare a though that christmas is not all sweetness and happiness for many people in society. If you really don't want to think of Christmas cancelled, pop something extra into your local foodbank, old folks home, childrens home or hospital, or through the RVS or similar as many folk will spend the day on their own missing the contact of a walk to the shops etc." Last Christmas instead of buying Christmas cards, I went and bought food for the local food bank so a family could enjoy Christmas Day, rather than a card that nobody reads and bins on Boxing Day. I wished everyone that knew my merry Christmas on Facebook! I'll be doing it again this year | |||

"A school in Bolton the Children could not say merry Christmas because it offended other children. The joke of it is most of the children who were offended by Christmas there fathers were Taxi driver,s they loved Christmas because they were charging double " Well my kids went to a primary school that was probably about 2/3 Muslim. And it wasn't banned there. And my kids were happy to learn about eid, diwali, Hanuka. The Muslim kids were happy to join in the Christmas festivities. And there parents were happy for them to do it. Islam celebrates Jesus too! The only ones that ever put a dampner on things were the witnesses to the Jehovah incident. | |||

"At my children's school the staff were not allowed to say happy Christmas for some reason, Was very annoying for us! As we want our kids growing up along side different cultures, it's was always the main two(religions) playing tit for tat, as always it's always the kids that suffer. "well thats pissed on the op's parade then  | |||

"My grandchildren have been in Nativity plays alongside their friends of other religions. They've all sang Christmas songs,made Christmas cards and ate a Christmas dinner together. Staff,parents and children all said Merry Christmas to each other. I wouldn't say Merry Christmas to anyone I knew was not Christian any more than they would wish me happy eid/Hanukkah/Diwali. We said have a nice break and see you in the new year when I worked at a very diverse Secondary school. Some Asian non-Christian students had trees and presents,and wished me a Merry Christmas. I have never heard anyone say Happy Holidays. My muslim shopkeeper friends would wish me a Merry Christmas every year. " destiny its pretty much the same everywhere really some people will wish a merry christmas and other wouldn't.. I know quite a few muslims who like to wish merry christmas on to people and send cards, they don't celebrate the event but some of them in their families like to get together and have a meal then watch a film when it's christmas time.. | |||

And they would have to find some actual fucking work to do! | |||

It was a one off event,like the Winter Wonderland we have here in London. | |||

These moronic public bodies and councils that want to re-brand Christmas and call it something else do actually offend people, they offend Christians with these stupid ideas. | |||

"I doubt very much that anyone, regardless of their religion, would ever get upset by you wishing them a Merry Christmas, primarily because it is usually said as a polite gesture. Secondly, half, no, 99% of the kind of fuckwit that would make up the bullshit about 'christmas being cancelled', have never stepped foot in a church, chapel, synagogue, gurdwara, mosque, or any other place of worship for anything other than weddings, funerals, or summer fetes. The amount of shite spouted about christmas is staggering... it isn't a religious celebration anymore, in fact, it has become entirely about consumerism. " It was never really about religion to begin with. More a "let's have one last big party and finish off all the perishable food before winter hits. | |||
