Nowt wrong with Christmas itself but it's all the Commercialism that goes with it and the falseness of it. What's the 'tis the season to be jolly' about, why can't we be 'jolly' all year round. Yep I know it dates back to the pre Christian tradition of mis rule and the coming back of the sun, but being jolly in the darkest dullest time of the year come on. Has Eid and Divali become Commercialised in the East like Christmas has in the West does anyone know.

I used to go camping up in the Dales over Christmas, till the locals started insisting that I had Christmas Dinner with them. One year I had 4 Christmas dinners at the local pub and in locals houses. Bar Humbug.

Having said that though when my Daughter was young I did enjoy the buying of presents and then watching the suprise on her face as she opened them and watching her in Christmas plays at school.
Last year my Grandson spent hours playing with the boxes rather then his toys we'd got him.
