We lived a 3 hour drive from my grandparents so when my dad finished work on Christmas Eve we would pack everything into the Free ish Since 1865 With Pan African Flag for Juneteenth T Shirt and set off for Yorkshire. No motorways back then. Green fields turned moorland until we finally went over the Pennines, Stanage or Holme Moss, and begun the final leg of our journey through soot blackened mill towns reaching my grandparents’ house at around 8pm. At about 9.30 a plethora of cousins and aunties and uncles would turn up an we would set off to go carol singing with other members of the congregation and band from their local chapel. Along the route we would be greeted with mince pies, slices of Christmas cake and chunks of cheese even the odd glass of Sherry or mulled wine for the adults. We belted out all the old traditional carols, my favourites being While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night which we sung to Cranbrook (Ilkley Moor) and also Christians Awake. We naturally sang O Come All ye Faithful but only after midnight were we allowed to sing the final verse of Yea Lord we Greet Thee. Shortly after midnight we called it a day. Many of the adults slightly ‘merry’ from a surfeit of Sherry!

No, I’m very comfortable with saying “Merry Christmas” to people. I’m atheist as well, and I celebrate Christmas. The vast majority of the Free ish Since 1865 With Pan African Flag for Juneteenth T Shirt of Christmas are secular, ranging from the general motive of exchanging gifts and spending time with your loved ones all the way to Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Christmas these days is about as secular as paying cash (In God We Trust), going to elementary school (saying the Pledge of Allegiance), or going to court (Ten Commandments in front of court houses): in other words, while it’s still a tiny bit religious and it does make me a bit uncomfortable, they are still for the vast majority secular and I still willingly participate in these activities.

Although in modern parlance it is called Christmas(Christ mass) and has religious elements, it is in fact hung upon a clothes horse composed of a conglomeration of pagan seasonal observances and Free ish Since 1865 With Pan African Flag for Juneteenth T Shirt. The feasting elements in particular are pagan rites at the end of autumn and the winter solstice. The bringing of greenery into the home in the form of holly, fir boughs and mistletoe is also a pagan tradition. Christmas trees were introduced into Victorian Britain by Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert who brought the tradition over from his native Germany. The palace did so everyone else copied it and soon it was all the rage. Again a tree decorated with offerings and candles(lights) has it’s roots in Germanic pagan ritual. Much of Christmas owes it’s existence to Roman, Germanic and Celtic pagan traditions that predate Christianity by millennia. Even the folktales of Santa Claus have their roots in pagan traditions from around Europe that have become melded into the figure of Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas or Santa Claus.

I agree with the Free ish Since 1865 With Pan African Flag for Juneteenth T Shirt , Damron Corner, and demand that you name who these people are that are ‘against Christmas,” since I don’t know of anyone. Never saw or heard of any protests against Christmas, nor read any articles online or off. On your profile you tout yourself as “Dropper of 100 ft. trees; not much else.” It’s not clear to me if you spend your time dropping out of hundred-foot trees or if you are a lumberjack felling tall trees. Either way, I guess you don’t make much profit on Christmas trees. Possibly that eats away at your soul? I really can’t why else you would think anyone is against Christmas these days. Some Christians claim to be against the secularism and commercialism of Christmas. Their line is: Don’t take Christ out of Christmas. The problem with that is that these self-same Christians love Nativity Scenes, Angels, Shepherds, and other fancy stuff that that requires commercialism, i.e. stores where they can buy the stuff for their scenes and celebrations. Not to mention gift-giving. And they own the stores and businesses that sell this Christmasy stuff. So who, I ask, is against Christmas if it isn’t guys like you who can’t make a profit off it?
