To be fair to HBC (not something that comes naturally to me
), this year's theme is "Get Set for a Cracking Christmas in Hyndburn" and they do still have a crib in the town centre - you can't get much more traditional than that.
Personally, I think that the threat to Christmas is massively overstated by the likes of the "Daily Mail" and comes more from PC jobsworthies than ordinary folk of whatever race or creed. I've worked with muslims, lived in the same neighbourhood as muslims and I've always found 'em quite happy to celebrate Christmas with trees, trimmings, Santa Claus etc., although obviously not the religious aspect or the boozing (well, some of 'em, anyway
). Doubtless, there'll be the usual crop of "Christmas is banned" stories in the Tory press due to the stupidities of a minority of individuals, but I reckon rumours of the death of Christmas are a bit premature just yet!
