If it wasn’t for the barrage of advertising from retailers it would fade away as another religious festival. Let’s be honest, of all those angry people demanding their Christmas, how many even step inside a church? Not forgetting that 25th December is an arbitrary date? Christmas could be celebrated on any day? Why not move it to the summer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halfpenny 114 Posted December 12, 2020 Haven't enjoyed Christmas since the kids got older. Don't like the shopping queues and excessive commercialism. In recent years we have usually spent December and January enjoying beaches around SE Asia while my business partner keeps things ticking over in the UK. I've got properties overseas that we haven't visited since March and of course we're stuck in the UK for Christmas due to Covid and its just so bloody grim! Cold, dark, wet and not many sales ATM to break the tedium. Service side is steady though. Hopefully we can get away late Spring - I'll probably have to vaccinate to be able to travel, so I'll be taking a dose even if it turns me into a half-man half-mole hybrid.
