    Over here in the UK, Christmas (X'mas) has turned over the last 5 years into a big commercial event. It seems that the spirit of things has gone out the window and all it means know is spending money!!

    Mullz I agree totally!

    Xmas is so over-commersialised its unreal - so much so even the islamic people and the Hindus send Xmas cards - and its nt even there religion! Its more of a public Time than a religious one now!


    And mullz - i didnt know you were in the UK - whereabouts?

    You said it... and more and more organizations (American Civil Liberties Union) and the like are bent on removing all religious significance from Christmas while still having some type of holiday celebration in its stead so you can still spend lots of money and congratulate yourself for being a good humanist but not appreciating Christ... WHOM IT IS NAMED FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

    Xmas is usually bigger, but thanksgiving comes close .

    And yes, the NFL is great, I got to go down to Dallas for the Cowboys game 2 sundays ago. I was about 50 feet away from that sweet fake punt in the second half. Needless to say, it was fun
