We have a riot of Christmas lights every year where I live Christmas is what you make it. Next time go out and troll for lights and go shopping even if you don't buy anthing you will see the decorations.

I don't know where you are in England but due to some years of experience I see much of the same here and abroad, I have come to realize and forgive the cliche, but the spirit of Christmas is in ones own heart. You have just passed from the delusional joy of childhood Christmases to reality of the adult Christmas. The next step is to learn what Christmas means to you. Many of us have learned that the joy now comes from giving and creating Christmas for others. Thank You for asking that question so many people go through this and do not know why but go from year to year in a haze about their feeling or the lack of others feelings on Christmas.

I think the big hullaballoo about those that are anti-Christmas has ruined it for many people. It's suppose to be a time of cheerful giving and family. Why, even if someone doesn't agree, do they have to ruin it for others? Even businesses have jumped on the anti-Christmas bandwagon and I do not support those stores for that very reason. I have taken a stand.

Make Christmas alive for you! You should have fun at Christmas, even if everybody else are Scrooges! I hope next year you have a great, lively, fun, and festive Christmas!

What is important is that you keep Christmas. I always try to go to Church on Christmas Eve, and I love giving and getting presents on Christmas Day.

Despite countless attempts by special interest groups to end it, somewhere, somehow, someone will always celebrate Christmas. You can't blot out the birth of our Savior.

christmas has changed for ever century since christ was born, at one time it was even outlawed in England.
there is nothing wrong with family oriented holidays and remembering christ, even if it is the wrong date.

Because England won't acknowledge Jesus as King...
and you guys still rely on old Queen Elizabeth, paying her
taxes so that she can sit on her bonybutt all day.
And that ugly Prince Charlie to become yall worthless King...
Bow down, bow down, bow down... to them.
Plus, it is Saturn Leo, everybody is sad, right now.
