Little more than blah blah blah.

Mice don't fly drones.

Drones are a bit passé for hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings.

Which can only lead to an infinitely improbable explanation - which is what we're likely to get!

Christmas is frowned on by the majority of our population because it doesn’t fit their religion, and we let them get away with it!

I'd like to call you out on this piece of Daily Wail prize nonsense. What utter rubbish.

[tomshep]

Yeah. Merry Christmas Crash one - and all of the rest of you.

I planed to come back and do the same, but you got there first.

Thanks

There was something in the news a couple of years back where a nativity play somewhere was cancelled to appease the “locals”
Who cares!

Merry Xmas everyone. My apologies for having an opinion.

We get these rumours every year. As far as I recall they've all amounted to

(1) there was in fact no such incident reported in the news
(2) there was such a report in the news but it was a lie.

..

As ever, I'd be inclined to wonder whose "news" , and how accurately reported ..

I have only once met a group of avowedly religious people, Christian or not, who opposed the celebration of Christmas. They were a community of Christian Pentecostalists in Canada, in a self-isolated settlement by choice. They believed that celebrating anything in the religious calendar other than Pentecost was 'heathen'. I have no idea whether this attitude is typical even of 'mainstream' Pentecostalists. I have never met any equivalent objection to Christmas celebration among any variety of observant Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist,Hindu, .. and I've known well all such.

There is a specific Arabic language greeting by which Arabs (Muslim and Christian) and other Muslims wish Christians a Merry Christmas. I always use it this time of year to visitors to JAM in apparently Muslim dress. They nearly always recognise it and reciprocate.

Id ul-Milad Mubarak to all Forumites of any faith or none

It's really bad in the US. There, it's not the done thing to even wish someone a Merry Christmas, they say "happy holidays"....it's always a bit confusing when they talk about the holiday season as for us that's June, July, August...

My apologies for having an opinion.

Apologies for your opinion accepted.

[flybymike]

Looks like at least a dozen other forumites liked Crash’s point of view, including even some of the PC platoon.

[Ben K]

And I did not.
