how I choose to celebrate the time of year is totally irrelevant, it is my choice and I have a right to that choice. As I said originally, I am not religious and so celebrate in a non-religious way. This unlike some of you does not stop me respecting and tolerating ALL faiths and beliefs. As for barking up the wrong tree, open mindedness and acceptance of others appears to be a cardinal sin here and as you all seem to have failed to see that I posted the fact I believe that christmas should not be banned (which i believe to be the original discussion) however individuals should be allowed to celebrate in their own way without prejudice (a concept which seems lost on you) I will endeavour to put my time into something more productive. They do say you can't educate pork and that certainly seems to be the case for some people round here. Noone has asked you to change or alter your beliefs but in this so called season of goodwill to all men, one would expect you to respect other peoples.
