I know I might be being unreasonable......but the whole 'religious element' of christmas is starting to grate!
I believe that Christmas is the celebration of Jesus, and that is what we celebrate, but with todays' news that 25% of the UK are athiests - and they all have their own reason for celebrating christmas - which is fair enough.......I'm now of the opinion that it should be 'holiday season', not 'christmas'..........something that I would never have dreamt of saying in the past.
But the world is moving on, and so are beliefs, so maybe 'christmas' should too - or the 'season of christmas' at least.
Then people can celebrate whatever they want without having to feel like they have to explain themselves, or knock others beliefs.
The number of poeple today who have told me it's a pagan belief.....I'm shocked that a vast majority of the 25% of Atheists, didn't declare themselves to be pagan!
Sorry for the rant!
