Yeabut before it was a Xtian thing it was a time to have big fires and decorations and eat and drink a lot. So good to see it getting back to the original meaning.

This is very true, also very obvious. Most of the Christmas traditions have little to do with Jesus and everything to do with a midwinter festival. (It's fun growing up with European Christmas traditions in Australia.)

Easter's better though: rabbits and eggs? It's 90% pagan fertility festival, maybe 5% Christian.

Maybe the voters in Cardiff wish they had Keith Vaz as their MP. He has banned the coke lorry from his constituency.

If the people of Cardiff want Keith Vaz, I will happily drive him down there

Why else would an old man sneak into your bedroom and empty his sack while you sleep?

Word to the wise here - not something you should try.
In court next week. My police statement reads "HO HO HO"..........

Bonkers.

I get increasingly saddened by the introduction of ever more newly dreamt up "Christmas traditions" that are clearly nothing more than a cynical attempt to extract money.
Lots of my Facebook friends are now posting links to sites where you can buy a personalised box filled with gifts for your children to open up on Christmas Eve - what's wrong with leaving a carrot and a mince pie on the hearth? That's what you're meant to do on Christmas Eve.

And get drunk - don't forget getting drunk.
And based on the last few years still be wrapping presents and putting together things like dolls houses until around 3 or 4 in the morning. Only for the eldest to wake at 6 - that was a long Christmas day!
Hopefully this year may be a bit different.... as my children are getting older the presents are changing - no more dolls houses but laptops and tablets!!!!!! A remortgage after Christmas may be in order. That or another several paying jobs
