bob smith Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 uncle bob is starting to feel a bit cheery at the moment could be the 3 beers ive sank but it could also be that christmas is right around the corner. I personally still love christmas, not so much the day itself but the build up/decorations etc oh, and the copius amounts of food and alcohol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KannikaP Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I am an Atheist, my family are Buddhists. What's Christmas? Same old music in Lotus's from three different sources starting fairly soon I would imagine, silly stuff for sale in Makro, daft old films on telly. Wonder how they'll celebrate in Israel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retarius Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 No but then again even 40 odd years ago when I lived in the UK, I always felt like a stupid <....> feeling festive. I think my goodwill gene was edited out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian aspect of Christmas dead many decades ago. For me dead 50 years ago after a run in with an army chaplain. Just discussing where to take the family for Christmas dinner in CM on 25 Dec. This year already decided to take a break from Dukes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same old music in Lotus's from three different sources starting fairly soon I would imagine, silly stuff for sale in Makro, daft old films on telly. Wonder how they'll celebrate in Israel. One widespread explanation of the origin of the date is that December 25 was the Christianizing of the dies solis invicti nati (“day of the birth of the unconquered sun”), a popular holiday in the Roman Empire that celebrated the winter solstice as a symbol of the resurgence of the sun, the casting away of winter and the heralding of the rebirth of spring and summer. After December 25 had become widely accepted as the date of Jesus’ birth, Christian writers frequently made the connection between the rebirth of the sun and the birth of the Son. Basically, theft of a pagan ritual celebrating the natural changing of the seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Buddhist wife makes more of a fuss about Christmas than I do. I keep trying to tell her that there's no need for her arrange anything on my behalf. She knows full well that I'm a none believer, but as always, she takes no notice. You know what Thais are like, any excuse for a party, even if its some one else's excuse!

Crossy Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Is it time for the Christmas Jokes thread yet?? Our office has three Christmas trees, they never get taken down (for at least 5 years I've been here), the girls just put new batteries in the lights.
