so the story goes

:joker:

:eureka:
I noticed Christmas hasnt been as commercialised yet

[Lauren]

It isn't advent just yet. I think when it gets into Dec we should start having christmas avs and sigs, woo.

[Scarlett.]

I might have a naked dancing Santa in mine :banana:

The credit crunch has caused the cancellation of Christmas this year, especially in Croatia (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7730813.stm)



The Croatian government has banned Christmas and New Year parties in the public sector because of the global financial crisis.

State-run firms and organisations have also been told that they won't be allowed to dip into their funds to buy Christmas presents.


So please note

Do to the economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off until further notice

Wasn't Christ born on/or around September 29th? I read there is no reference in the bible he was born on christmas day, and it's all a lie.

Yeah I heard that too.
But I am not a believer either way.

That would mean he was immaculately conceived around christmas.

It was not until 358CE that Bishop Liberius of Rome declared that 25 December would celebrate the birth of Jesus, so no wonder the NT does not record him being born on 25 December.

As for Jesus' historicity I refer you to the writings of Flavius Josephus and Tacitus, historians who were not Christians yet recorded his existence.

:dance:

In fact i demand a Santa smilie ! :spin2:

[Loukas]

Not Christmassy yet :thumbs: Will be soon. Chrstmas shopping, London Lights, Candles THE LOT putting the tree up soon too!! :bigsmile:

[GhettoSuperstar]

Too early, I don't see why we need to celebrate one day (which is just hype) with a month to 2 months in advance. A couple of weeks is good enough.

[Scarlett.]

Too early?
advent starts in 5 days...plus everywhere or nearly everywhere has lights up now

in the olden days the tree used to go up on christmas eve and come down on boxing day

Now lights go up in October, adverts start in November and people put their decorations up at the start of December then take them down in January- thats 3-4 months all for the sake of one day

[Hugo]

Errmm..its November?
I don't see why it would be christmasy its far too early. =/

[Scarlett.]

We are bodering on December v_v
Im comparing this to the last few years not the 1800's

Completly agree, dont see why people start counting down from summer now, its one day, live all the others!

[Lauren]

When does everyone put their tree up?

[Magic]

Usually one week, or two even before XMas.

[Lauren]

We put ours up 12 days before christmas, traditional and all that.

In my uni flat we have one up now, but that's cos we go home for xmas in a few weeks.

[bronaaaa]

Ino I'm not that excited yet
..we never put our tree up til the 20th either..:sad:

[Scarlett.]

We put ours up around the 14th December
