We don't celebrate Christmas in

We don’t celebrate Christmas in this house. We have turkey, pull crackers and get presents but we don’t celebrate Christmas. I’ve been labelled Scrooge because I find this a little weird. Bah humbug.
Not that I don’t like the Christmas spirit. It reminds me of days gone by. Participation in the nativity play (they always cast me as an angel, and once I had to do a solo, scary), fun carols (we often changed the words to rude ones because we were mature like that), pretty cool movies on the telly (some of the classics like A Christmas Carol and The Wizard of Oz still give me a warm feeling inside) and overdosing on chocolate.
If Christmas means a little peace for a couple of days then I won’t complain. Merry Christmas.

  2. the non-religious essence of christmas is diluted in this age. it remains an opportunity to give something heartfelt to someone who has touched you. sometimes only words are possible, and so i say, from my heart, merry christmas, saima

  5. Hello peeps, your favourite Geordie speaking from Colombo where it’s incredibly hot!! Hope everybody’s enjoying themselves during the festive period. See you soon!!

  6. We used to celebrate X-mas so wonderfully in Canada, though I miss the festivity now, I miss the candy canes and the Santa hats since I moved to Pakistan. We do celebrate a bit when our x-ian friends invite us to their parties, sounds a bit weird sometimes, but Christmas is always so much FUN.
    MERRY CHRISTMAS! All you guys. =ü=
    P.S. I agree with Will that X-mas is not just a religious holiday, it’s my favorite holiday anyway.

  7. Christmas is the only ‘stationary’ holidy. It is always at the same time of the year (and usually right near when year-end bonuses are handed out.) It becomes easier to spend money at this time of the year because of the availability of the extra disposable income.
    Anyhow, Happy New Year to all of you and your families. (I’ll remember to wish the same at the new Hijri year, the new Chinese new year and the new Hebrew new year (hopefully in that order) when the time comes.)

  9. I don’t celebrate Christmas either. I am an atheist and it would be hypocritical of me to observe it. I don’t have the option of celebrating the midwinter solstice either, because I live in NZ and it is summer here now. It is all wrong to me to hear people singing about snow and sleighs in summer, it makes me want to tell them “Have you noticed what season we are in here? Wake up!!” I have nothing to celebrate so I just ignore Christmas and breathe a sigh of relief when it is all over. I look forward to celebrating the New Year, which is relevant to me. Happy New Year to all. Dale.
