Any one else mad we've lost sight of the real Christmas?

[slapheadsrock]

There are people really hung up already on the trimmings for christmas dinner. Why?
The lights are on already in our town centre. Why?

I'm so fed up that christmas starts earlier and earlier. And do any of the people out there stuffing their faces and houses with things give a second thought to why they are celebrating christmas?

Perhaps this thread will make you think twice this year about what you are really taking part in.

If you are not Jewish, do you celebrate Hannukah?
So why celebrate christmas if you don't believe in Jesus?

Feel better now. Thanks for reading.

BTW sorry if i sounded a bit harumphing when i said this discussion is getting a bit pointless. Please feel free to continue.

I am a consumer, parent to rampant consumers and as citizens of a capitalist ecomomy we celebrate the mad consumer fest known as Christmas by default. This thread has not made me think twice about what I am really taking part in, slapheadsrock. I already know. Sorry you are though.

I'm getting dh a gap cashmere sweater also aloha

he will probably wear it to church on xmas morning

Are you going for a V neck or crew neck Enid? What would Jesus choose?

i saw those jumpers in Gap. Then i looked at the price tag. Didn't realise they were cashmere up to that point. I was looking for myself tho, in the true altruistic spirit of Christmas. Good value for cashmere tho i suppose.

I reckon Jesus would go for a v neck with a nice check shirt underneath

but I'll be getting dh a crew as he is terrible atheist

Depends on what he plans to wear under the jumper, but I'd learn more towards crewneck. Nothing like a cashmere jumper w/a lovely blazer of it.

I think Jesus, though, would have gone for the hippy look of v-neck jumper w/exposed chest hair underneath and Birks with wool socks.

Not a look I care for, but to each his own.

oh enid you've got Jesus so wrong.

birks and cashmere? Too pricey for Jesus!

i think Jesus would be wearing a jumper from Primark three sizes too small/big for him that he found at a jumble sale.

Yeah, Birks and cashmere! Jesus was a scholar. It's a very academic look. Boho chic LONG before that Joan-come-lately Sienna Miller arrived on the scene.

but he was a political revolutionary! They don't wear birks and cashmere! [sulks off to hang earnest head on a distracting thread]

Yes, but suppose Jesus got a GAP voucher for Christmas... (or Saturnalia!)

come on, you know the answer to that. He would take the voucher to the shop and verily the voucher would buy enough casmere sweaters to clothe the whole of Galilee!

Ha!

he'd still be wearing the primark jumper though.

Nah, he'd been wearing brown corduroys, a white shirt and a brown "teacher" jacket that he picked up from Oxfam.

It's usually around this time dp becomes uber popular with his workmates. He's happy to swap shifts with any workmate who wants to spend a couple of weeks with their family.....they in turn swap errr three days with him for eid!!!!

rhubarb that's your average vicar you're thinking of not Jesus. And fuzzywuzzy, two weeks for three days? Not fair!

he'd be wearing a "rage against the machine" t-shirt and baggy jeans

Cashmere is very popular in the Yurt, obviously a very spiritual fabric

I once saw a t-shirt bearing the slogan, 'Masturbation is a Sin', make a good Christmas present for him don't you think?
