Oh! Like back in the 50's? That would be weird. We just want to see Dev and Lozzer's dangly bits bumping together. Or perhaps, one of them "eating ice cream." ;)

In Europe there has always been a midwinter celebration of being on the road to Spring - long before Jesus was created, and there will be long after the Xtians have joined other religions in the pages of history books. Might even still be called Xmas :biggrin:


No idea why other parts of the world don't have there own midwinter celebration. :ask: It's not as if even the Christians (the ones not dribbling :hehe: ) still claim the date as the actual birthday of Jesus........

On Oz, a few demented lunatics do a "Xmas in July" thing... :roll:

Probably better weather for roast poultry and steamed pudding, I'll give 'em that...

For the first 1,000 listens I liked it but now meh and if I have to listen to Slade one more time I'm going to kill the next passer by just for existing whether s/he is a Slade fan or not.

My feelings are in the "Do you love Christmas?" thread, but in any case :holcheer:

Imagine no partiez between, say Halloween and the Spring? It's worth it just to have a huge dark gap in the calendar filled with something to look forward to ( or dread!). Dec and Jan are deeply and horrifyingly uncopable with as it is!
