the only reason why santa clause is red is because of coca cola he was origionaly drawn wearing green

personaly i dont care about any facts or origins of xmas as long as i get the prezzis :D

christmas is for 2 things , spoling teh kids and providing grown men with an excuse to go nuts with flashy decorations lol

You leave flashy out of this:D:D

There is a crescent section of Bridge Street in Rishton that all trim up outside each year and it's an amazing sight. That has been in the papers for several years at Christmas although some people may have moved on as one or two houses didn't bother this time.
