I much prefer my home to parties else where, don't mind throwing a party Might be an age thing, I used to love Xmas eve & New year, hight heels the full Monty but now in the cold I'm happy at home. Happy to party in the Summer
I think we should move Christmas to August
Soz to religious peeps I might have offended x
That's what my dog says too. Have fun! (like he does)
That would be high heels not height heels..it's so long ago I got muddled
there is no statistical evidence why christmas day should be Dec 25th
If you start looking at evidence for anything concerned with religion....
Did you have a good hols?
tee hee Steve There's a building in Godalming in Surrey with " Christ the Scientist" on it. Feck alone knows!!!
Hols were great thanks.
The X in Xmas started as the Greek letter chi (which looks like an X) which is the first letter of Christ in Greek. So calling it Xmas....
I once read that " calling it xmas is taking christ out of christmas" or some such superstitious old twaddle. Can't we just call it December 25th?
Yule will suit me fine - celebrating the turn of the year with feasting, wassailing and holly and ivy etc.
If you look at the words of The Holly and the Ivy, you can see how the Church was putting religious symbolism onto the old traditions.
Equinoxes are around 21 March and 23 September when day and night are of equal length.
Think you mean the Winter Solstice 21/22 December, when the period of daylight is at it's shortest - my son was born 22 December.
