I have Jewish friends in Sydney who do the whole Christmas tree and presents thing and call it Hannukah. And I mean, I know St Nick was a christian saint but I think Santa is just about as far away from a religious figure as you can get. Wasn't he invented by Coca Cola Inc?? Let's face it, the traditions of Christmas have been pinched from every culture in the world. It has to be one of the most eclectic festivals there is. Pagan holly and ivy, yule logs and all that feasting to make up for the mid winter misery.....I reckon you could easily do many of the Christmas celebratory style things with very little reference to Jesus at all. Heck. Millions of people manage it in this country ;-D<BR/>Of course, on the other hand, you may not want to :-) Silly me.<BR/>Lovely photo. Thanks for all your comments of late. I have been having a heck of a time trying to get around to all my favourite blogs. Good to hear about your work. Sounds v interesting. I want to share something about it with you but may post it on my blog for anonymity's sake. I've also got another post up my sleeve about the whole anonymity thing as my Best Friend recently lost her job on account of her blog!!!!<BR/>oh and btw you can contact me on carolynatjabadotcomdotau. With all appropriate symbols of course :-D<BR/>Merry Secular season!!Arizaphalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402602175460446158noreply@blogger.com
