Re: Where will this madness end?

Do Midwinter Festivalists celebrate the New Year?

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

:rolleyes:

Re: Where will this madness end?

Yes, perhaps we must.

As everyone's still waiting for you to answer the question, as to which person in this country is being forced to believe in Christianity, and made to celebrate Christmas,...

Re: Where will this madness end?

The only intolerance I've seen in this thread comes from yourself.

Aimed at those, of all, an no religion, who are looking forward to celebrating Christmas.

Re: Where will this madness end?

So you've latched your own Midwinter Festival on with everyone else's Christmas celebrations, on the 25th of December?

Rather than celebrating the winter solstice today, the 22nd?

Isn't that...

Re: Where will this madness end?

Yes.

They weren't indigenous to Britain, as you tried to suggest.

No need for Google.

Cursed with a good memory.

Remember being taught about the migration of the Celts at infant school.

Re: Where will this madness end?

I'm an atheist, who was brought up in a family with a long history of Methodism.

I don't care tuppence what any religionists want to do, or how they celebrate their festivals.

You could have always sent her to a Jewish, Muslim, or even a non-denominational school.

Didn't you find out what she'd be taught, before packing the poor mite off to it?

Re: Where will this madness end?

It was actually the German Prince Albert, who popularised the Christmas tree.

It became fashionable after the Royal family were pictured with one, in the Illustrated London News.

Everyone's...

Re: Where will this madness end?

Pray tell, who the friggin' Holly Willoughby is being 'forced' to celebrate Christmas against their will, in this country?

I honestly didn't think there were any actual people, who believed all...

Re: Where will this madness end?

If you don't celebrate Christmas, why post on here, mentioning Christmas trees, Christmas decorations, and this being your child's first Christmas?

I'm afraid we've already cast this year's Accy...

Re: Where will this madness end?

No, I'm afraid you are wrong, yet again.

Like you were, when you said the Celts were indigenous to Britain.

Any evidence, dates etc., when this invasion began, and forced the poor population to...

Re: Where will this madness end?

Shouldn't that read 'midwinter decorations', 'mini Jedi's first midwinter festival', and 'midwinter festival tree'?

Midwinter's commercialised tat sounds pretty much like Christmas's.

Re: Where will this madness end?

Er...the Celts weren't idigenous to Britain.

They invaded these islands.

From where they originated, in what's now Switzerland and Austria, via southern France, and Spain.

No booing and hissing in the theatres too, as he closed those as well.

The miserable, puritanical, warty faced sod.

We are multi-cultural country. Though one with a mainly Christian heritage.

The majority of people in this country aren't regular attendees, at any place of organised religion. Fact.

Re: Where will this madness end?

You'd be better off arguing it was the invading foreign Celts, who brought paganism to these islands.

Re: Where will this madness end?

You're wrong.

Christianity wasn't brought to Britain by warring 'invaders'.

It's widely accepted that it was St. Augustine, who first brought Christianity to these shores, in 597 A.D.
