    Religion should be pratised in your own home, not fored against other people, therefore I feel that it is correct to move Christmas away from its religious roots because we are NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY.
    That is officicial and if you dislike it, I am affraid you will have to lump it.

    And Winterval is celebrated like Christmas, but it ruins the complete tradition of it being 'Christmas'. Christmas, is when Jesus came to the Earth, but now it's just gift-giving and holidays. The name shouldn't be changed to 'Winterval' in my opinion, it should just be kept as Christmas.
    Wait, so are you mad about the gift giving or the name? Because the two are no where near related.

    Well then, what about Hanukkah? It's a Jewish tradition, and always has been, but since we aren't a Jewish country either, might as well change the name of that too to be 'Politically correct'

    Name.
    Whats it matter what other people call it? Seriously, how does it affect you? Take your own advise, and dont celibrate 'Winterval' and celibrate christmas. Everyone says 'OMG why cant the minorities just leave christmas alone and just not celebrate it?!?!'. Well why dont YOU not celebrate Winterval?

    That one line makes everything else you said void.

    Yeah, Im sure 1/3rd of all the people in the world are worse off, mmmhm. Makes so much sense. Isreal gets attacked left and right. Half the planet believes every muslim is a terrorist. But changing the name of Christmas?! Dear god, you poor things.

    I live near Birmingham, lights have already been put up saying " seasons greetings Wolverhampton" It used to be Merry Christmas but Religous councilers decided to change it after 17 muslims/sikh/hindu's complained about being too much Christmas celebrations and nothing for their festivals which i think is a pathetic excuse.
    Not being racist but this was and is supposed to be a protestant country? Protestants who celebrate Christmas!! Not diwali, eid etc. But about it being changed to winterval; i've heard nothing of this.

    They come our country, live on benifits, basically living on our money.

    And now they expect us to change OUR religious beliefs because of them?
