You are correct about the 3 stages of Christmas and the holiday is treated the same here in the States. Maybe one day people will discover it again, the kids would be happy for sure! Have a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year!
Couldn't agree more mate! And about Christmas, now I'm a lifelong atheist for F's sake who finds the whole concept of religion mental. However much I'd like to see all religions consigned to history I do understand it brings a lot of comfort to a lot of people, which is why it annoys me (an atheist don't forget) that the only religion that is not respected these days is Christianity, especially at Christmas! I might not believe but I spent too many years at university (when free speech came with our grant-funded often grotty student lives (I blew my grant on booze, weed, and motorbikes) and a career trying to drum history into teenage heads not to know that this country was formed on Christian principles (King Alfred's foundation of England, King Henry's reformation etc) and that should be celebrated and respected! Anyway, that's my tuppence worth have a great Christmas Adrian, and thanks for the content.
Many thanks Tony! Personally, I don't believe in a God, but do believe there was someone around 2000 years ago named Jesus (probably) but the whole story of his life has been re-written so many times we'll never know the truth of it. Hope you had a great Christmas anyway, and here's to a better new Year for us all.
