It's not Xmas- it's Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Christ. IMO it should not be a holiday in Thailand because Buddhists don't believe in Jesus.

It shouldn't be a holiday in any western country either, because most people are not Christians.

If they want a holiday, at least be honest and call it something else.

All it is now is a pagan festival, which is what it used to be before the Christians co opted it.

Yes, it should be called Coca Cola holiday. That's who designed Santa that awful red and white outfit...

This is why I am here.  To get away from the holidays.  Sorry, just don't like them.  Don't want to send or receive cards either.  Christmas is the birth of Christ Jesus.

I never know if I should laugh or get angry when I see huge Christmas trees in front of shopping malls in Thailand in November. Shopping, shopping shopping - what a crazy season.

Saw my first Christmas tree of the year in October in the UK. November’s late 555

That's right, I especially remember those who are no longer in this world. The rest are in Whatsaap... and online ????

No. I never liked the Christmas and New Year season in the West anyway, so I'm happy to be in Thailand. Christmas intrudes here, silly music in the shops etc., but nothing like to the same extent.

My family are Thai, we don't do Xmas.

About the only 'special Xmas event' for me will be making & eating mince pies.

The kids will probably be at school/university on Xmas and Boxing Day, same as any other day.
