And that was it.. None of this Spierman/Bratz crap..

Why has Christmas got so damn shoddy, its all about the presents.

Can nobody come and carol sing? Can noboy make mince pies? Just take a think for a second that it is actually called CHRISTmas. Even if you don't believe in Jesus/God etc at least know what our celebrating.

Please guys, Save Christmas.

Discuss.

I love my Spongebob advent calander though :( I've been carol singing before :8 and my mummy makes homemade mince pies :p and I don't know why people who arn't Catholic celebrate Christmas in the first place and Easter, because they obviously do not believe in Christ so it kind of defeats the point..

Yah please. I am christian, so we don't overdo it. x]

i have a postman pat calandar

Do you get what I mean though?

For instance the Argos adverts:

'Is your Christmas wish to make your son the happyest boy?'
and
'Is your Christmas wish to bring music to someone's ears?'

NO ARGOS, IT'S NOT. IT'S TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF J-E-S-U-S

I help my mum make mince pies =] and i'm gunna make some in school =D
But i've got a Doctor Who advent calender

my whole familys caltholic so y'know. im not tho.

doesn't bother me tbh. I, for one will be getting a chocolate advent calendar.

do they have argos is hawaii? O_O

Yesh Dan, I agree :) Not presents, JESUS. I actually wonder how many people actually say thanks to the present giver or who actually sits at the Xmas tree and thinks about Jesus, I do. Call me whatever uoi like ;]
