It could be a useful way of using tradition to limit meat intake which is meant to be the way forward.
Doesnt have to he fridays of course :laugh:

I thought "no meat on Fridays" was a Good Friday tradition, not Friday in general.

It changed from the latter to the former over time. Now it's just good friday

Surely it a Christian thing rather than specifically Catholic, is what I mean

There's a funny bit in Father Ted about that actually, Fr Dougal asking a Bishop, how come it was bad to eat meat on Fridays before but it's OK now, did the other lads go to hell or what? :laugh:

After midnight you can eat meat and I'd always visit the fridge after mass and have a cut of ham or a dried sausage :hee:
Love traditions like that, the Spanish celebrate on Christmas Eve as well. Don't Polish people leave their tree up until February as well?

They do. But the downside is it gets put up late, sometimes as late as Christmas Eve. Stays up until Candlemas, 2nd of Feb.
Also the idea of Carnival starting after Christmas until Ash Wednesday is still present. You meant to have lots of parties and general merrymaking.

...I’m enjoying reading about your Polish Christmas traditions, TwoSugars...:love:...do you have family still in Poland..?...

...’...Typically, people watch for the first star to appear in the night sky before sitting down to eat. The breaking of symbolic wafers precedes the meal and everyone shares pieces of the broken wafers.’....an incredible feeling of family togetherness...:lovedup:..

When we were young decorations wouldn't go up until the day before Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve itself, I like that they put the decs up in the UK a few weeks before, what I don't like is that as soon as boxing day is over some shops start taking them down, if feels like they are rushing you onto the next shopping event :fist:

Those decorations are not there to celebrate the season of good will but to tug on your purse strings.
All money driven. People bought presents so shops move on to the next thing.
