Short Christmas Rant

[gothfrogette]

why is it that becuase we don't do Christmas we get called weird? What gives a person the right to bombard you with Merry Christmas wishes and then get all arsey when you say "Thank you, happy christmas to you too although we don't do chrstmas we do Yule which is in the 21st" (Yes its happened today on more the 10 times) personaly i think

If I'd remembered that you do Yule, I'd have said "happy Yule" to you, but, being slightly forgetful, I didn't!

I don't go for political correctness, so I'll not say "season's greetings" or anything like that, but I hope you enjoyed your celebrations!

lol thats ok honestly it just does my head in when the people who i have known for years do it, it didn't help either that one person who has now been blocked decided to have a huge go at me as they didn't think it was right that the kids get to miss out on christmas.
its not that i go for political correctness at all its just that every one presumes you do christmas.
As for you Bird ya know i love ya xxxxxx

Yeah, I guess it can take people by surprise that you don't "do" Christmas.

Its sad that people don't at least recognise the holidays that others observe (I'm as guilty as the next man for this). I have enough difficulty remembering birthdays, let alone celebrations which I personally don't observe! And anyway, you're kids haven't missed out, they had it early (in a way) as Yule is 4 days earlier than Christmas! ( I seem to remember that the Christian festival of Christmas is in mid december as an attempt to appease the pagans many years ago). So really and truly, Yule is the true native celebration for this country! Use that next time someone tries to be smart!
