Diwali, Eid... everything got celebrated, really. No one was up in arms about it and I find the reaction to a Muslim family joining in with Christmas to be not only hypocritical, but also surely flies in the face of the spirit of Christmas, whether you're a Christian or not.

Absolutely. I think it's good that Christmas is evolving more into a holiday celebrated by the majority of people anyway. People need holidays and time to spend having fun and spending time with friends and family and tbh the end of the year is a perfect time for that, to wind down etc. It isn't only religious people who need a break :fist:

One of the Twitter comments on Christmas from the "victims" may explain why the anger over this "multiculral" disaster being shoved in our face by the same repulsive creeps who WANT us to spend money in THEIR stores - theres been non-christians on Christmas adverts before with no irritation, and the answers bloody obvious why - and this repulsive character is far from the worst either. Theres the usual pedestal lecturers on here I notice as elsewhere. Many who can't usually get through a sentence without a hefty amount of the over-used -ist and -phobic words. Strangely enough they never use them against the people like the Twitter poster somehow.....(cue the predicatable "He's not a bigot I think the same because I'd swear anything to defend them while I do the opposite to what I'm claiming....")

I believe in all the traditional side of Christmas.
The tree, the decorations, the goodwill to all men..and women, the festive food, the presents, the Carols, Concert from Kings, New Years concert from Vienna, the family get together, watching the Church service on telly Xmas eve.
I believe we should all be free to have our beliefs, whatever they are as long as they don't involve hurting other people.
My kids believed in the pixies at the end of the garden for years, all a bit of magical childhood.
