12 days before and 12 days after Christmas??? does that not make it "The 24 Days of Christmas"??!!
The First Day of Christmas is Christmas Day!!
Tradition was decorations went up on Christmas Eve, it was considered unlucky to put them up prior to that, as it was considered unlucky to leave them up a day past the 5th of January.
From Christmas Day til the 5th of January is 12 days....
"The 12 Days of Christmas" !!

happy non denomical what? its Christmas, if people don't want to celebrate the birth of Jesus then they can go kiss the sand somewhere else, this is still a christian country with a church of England at the helm.
I don't remember anyone saying to me happy festive period during eide,
Happy Birthday Jesus, may you live long and prosper! (oh and stick a fsr under the tree for me please)

Christmas isn't about the birth of Jesus. It's the pagan festival for the return of the light. Celebrating the days getting longer rather than shorter. (Winter Equinox)
According to the census, that Mary and Joseph attended Bethlehem for, Jesus must have been born June time.
no offence taken history man I just don't dig political correctness!
Christmas isn't a pagan festival, its a christian one (there's a clue in the title) although Jól was later the name of a pagan Scandinavian holiday which merged with Christmas around 1000. (wiki)

I lost the Christian element to Christmas and the rest of the year after the Catholic church refused to confirm me because the priest didn't like my mother, he said it was because I didn't attend church often enough, Christ I used to go to mass every lunch as we had a chapel attached to the school :shock: what more could I do, I thought he was the link to God, be he made me realise it was all a sham, I do Christmas so my kids don't feel left out at school and with their friends.
