I thought it was the Romans, who killed the then thirty three year old Baby Jesus?

Nasty old Herod missed him.

anything that makes the world a brighter place, if only for a few weeks is fine by me.... you never know one year the world may just find or remember the true meaning of Christmas...

Re: Cards and Decorations
 

Each year we have a minor conflict about when the tree and decorations go up. I personally would like everything to go up on Christmas Eve (make it a big festive event, put the tree out and pressies under it then put stuff out for Santa etc) and Chris would like them to go up at the beginning of December - no point asking the kids because they want them up some time in September. So, every year I hold out for as long as is possible with Chris and the kids bugging me to be allowed to put everything up. We end up compromising when I've finally had enough of the pressure!

As for cards - I think you should only send them to people that you're not giving presents to or likely to see. I also feel the same way about birthday cards - it's nice if someone doesn't give you a pressie if they remember your birthday with a card but why bother if your handing something over?

I'm not happy about xmas as i used to be years ago, now im only happy because my son is growing and cant wait his face when he opens his xmas presents.
I get fed up with xmas before the day arrives because people starts very early with decorations and buying presents and all that.
I remember my mum never used to put the xmas tree up until 5 or 6 days before xmas, we used to live our xmas tree up till january the 7th because is bad luck to take it before (aparently).
I get very sad at xmas because i wish i could be with my family, yeah i know i made the choice to come to live to england but that doesnt mean i cant miss them.
Anyway,xmas for me now is more for my son, cant wait to see his little face when he opens his presents

Re: Cards and Decorations
 

is it not left till jan 7th,cos thats after the festival of the 3 Kings? yolanda.:confused:

Re: Cards and Decorations
 

Decorations should actually be taken down by January the sixth, otherwise known as Epiphany, or Twelfth Night.

The 7th of January is known as my birthday, or in Cahy's case the day he has to remember to buy a birthday card for his Missus.:D

Re: Cards and Decorations
 

Yeah i guess so but why do they say is bad luck, i dont know i guess it has been many years since i celebrated the 3 kingshttp://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...ons/icon10.gif
