I am not sure that I understand how flag waving can be sinister but if thats how it feels to you then no-one can take that away.

I feel that we are being stripped of many parts of our culture, traditions etc just to fit in with others. When England opened it's doors to the world I doubt anyone thought we would be the ones that had to change so much. I like christmas and no not as a christian but as a parent. I love to see my childrens faces when they get everything they have asked for. I love the lights in the streets, I love the whole thing!

I have to say though I am with you on the people who put up more lights than they do in Blackpool. My neighbour gives us a wonderful display every year to cringe at. The only good point is if you are giving someone directions to your house you can use hers as a ref point!
