I've found an immigrant who's intent on stopping me celebrating Christmas in the true British spirit.

She's told me that's quite enough booze until tomorrow.

Sigh...Merry Christmas everybody!

Re: Where will this madness end?
Do Midwinter Festivalists celebrate the New Year?

Since the holiday, and the calendar itself, are both Christian?

Still searching for all these "Midwinter Festivals"...haven't found any yet...or any signs of Christians (or heathens) being prevented from celebrating by PC zealots. Even Mrs H has relented and given me a pass-out to the pub!

Thought so, these women are very very crafty, but no doubt she'll allow you to call for a "real" snifter somewhere along the way
