Fed up with Christmas, its too commercial

Christmas is too commercial

Scrooge says cancel Christmas!

Yes, its that time fo year when the shops are busy and your surrounded by stupid santa clauses. Its enough to drive you mad. Tell us what you think of Christmas, is it too commercial? Is the spirit of Christmas gone?



Can anyone remember a time when Christmas wasn't about hammering the plastic or digging so deep into your bank account overdraft facility that you would still be trying to shovel your way out of debt for the next six months?

06-11-2009 Funny you should say that GL; I've just watched the "Horizon" programme from Tuesday about black holes, which also touched on the big bang.

05-11-2009 Yes, I have to agree, if God and Jesus exist, and God made us all, who made God? And if someone made God, who made that someone?

05-11-2009 I'm sorry to bust your bauble, but jesus (if there was ever such a person) was not born nor did die on dec 25th of any year. He is a myth, made up from story tellers. Jesus loves me, this I know, because the bible tells me so.... What a load of cod w.....p !x m a*s*
