    Yep, exactly. I grew up with presents and Christmas songs and all gathering round the TV and Christmas dinners and crackers, so it has been a big part of my life as far back as I can possibly remember.

    Malaysian Plane 'Shot Down' With 295 On Board

    But surely that is a complete nonsense isn't it? They have named all the people onboard. People know these people got on the plane. People left Facebook messages and spoke to people before they boarded. Are they trying to say that living passengers got on the plane alongside corpses?

    Well, for one, As i brought up in a quite Christian family and I also used to be in the church choir. so that is part of my heritage anyway. Christmas has become much commercialised these days and for me, as I said, it's all about all the family being together, buying presents and dcorating...

    Besides, I don't choose the public holidays, the government does and therefore companies follow that ethic. When I was working I would always have 7-10 days off, as my company would close the office. Maybe I shouldn't have utilised that time to celebrate then and should have used one the other...

    Still don't understand your argument. I don't need to defend my position. You can have a family get together 364 days a year, why bother on your birthday? Pretty much everyone is off at Christmas. A time when you can ALL get together. My brother lives in Hastings. He comes up every...

    My daughter (who is just 10 and not the slightest bit religious and can see through the facade) has celebrated Diwali before with her Hindu friend. Maybe I should tell her to stop doing that you think? :(

    Love Christmas. Absolutely love it. Christmas is all about giving and sharing, presents, decorations, getting together as a family and having time off. Easter is all about the eggs and Easter egg hunts. Or are you saying you have to be religious to celebrate these things? There are people...

    Now we are a multi cultural society I think it would be right and proper for schools to cover religious history, but not teach religion. I think that should be something done in the home.

    Good for you. When I went to school we just used to say the Lord's Prayer every morning in assembly and that was it. Never even another sniff of religion throughout the day. Today I can't get my head round this you must do this, you must pray like this, pray this many times every day, fast...

    Had never heard of them, so just looked them up. Good grief the world's gone mad!!!!!!!!!!! 'Since 1982, between 40% and 50% of adults in the United States say they hold the young Earth view that God created humans in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years'...

    Dear Sky Blue Trust

    My view has always been that if we all went and followed the team at Sixfields we would be much more likely to stay there for a lot longer and any return to Coventry in the near future would be unlikely. I think Sisu have been clinging to the fact that if the club did really, really well on the...

    Things like on the news this morning, with the couple who didn't get on the Malaysian plane irk me somewhat too. Basically, they were supposed to be on the flight but didn't go on. The wife said she felt something was watching over them. Well if I were a relative of any of the other 298...

    There's something happening here, what it is isn't exactly clear

    Unfortunately, also at the Woodstock festival we had Credence Clearwater Revival singing ' I see a bad moon arising' and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young singing 'Sea of Madness.'
