We were just watching Granada North West, the last item was about shops starting to sell Christmas things already and showed Chrismas cards,decorations etc,.
At the end of the item the lady announcer said something like 'We apologise in advance for any offence the last item may have caused'.
Tell me I've got it wrong! Tell me I've misheard or misunderstood what she meant!

Every year we end up apologising for Christmas, perhaps it's time we abandoned it forever?

(May I be the first to wish you all a thrilling time for this years Winter break?).
;)
 
She was probably taking the mick, apologising for mentioning christmas because its to bloody early to be thinking about it.....not everything is about different religions you know

She was probably apologising for the fact that they were already starting to sell Christmas cards and so on which frankly I find bloody offensive that the retailers are already starting this! I think Sainsbury's will start putting some stuff on the shelves in the next week or 2!
 
They've commercialised Christmas?

No way!

Get out of the stable!

:eek:

How many Cristmas trees did Jesus trim, or how many were on his Christmas card list?

Most Christmas 'traditions' only date back to the nineteenth century, mainly of Germanic origin.

Besides, before anyone get's their Santa's Little Helper knickers in a twist, it's widely acknowleged Jesus was born in the month we know as September.

Merry Christmas.

:cool::hothothot:cool:

Don't really "do" creeping -and i did say if he was really lucky...looks like he might have to expect lumps of coal!
I do get caught up in seasonal cheer and all that sort of stuff ,being good to one's fellow man etc. -the Christian values aspect of Xmas that is the part that risks getting lost under all the tinsel!

When I was a student I spent a summer at Joseph Arnold's (as was), sticking on tassels, adding glitter and packing Christmas cards! They have to be sure they get them out on time:D

Ah Mags you care, I look forward to calling around to your place and bringing the Mistletoe, with any luck you'll be allergic to that as well as everything else.

(Now don't do anything rash, such as taking me off your ignore list just to reply).




:thankya:
