Ding dong merrily on high it's Christmas time again dears, ding dong merrily on high it's only just December.
So we're finally in December a time I believe in which it's much more acceptable to begin Christmas festivities like carol singing and Christmas fairs. November's too early in my books and as for the supermarkets having their festive isles from September they've just taken things too far.
Now to the point of this one, Christmas and what it stands for. Christmas, CHRIST mas. I just want to make it very clear for y'all.
It's lovely to have lots of people celebrating a Christian holiday and I love the way it unites the world and inspires people to help others but please please please can we stop changing the name of this sacred time of year?
If you're going to celebrate Christmas and hand out presents and have a holiday I think you should have the respect to acknowledge that this festival exists because of a story from a faith, the story of Jesus' birth in a stable 2000ish years ago. I know Jesus wasn't actually born then and that it's to do with a pagan festival but still it's called Christmas for a reason and you're celebrating it so it would be nice
if you could make a little bit of effort to call it Christmas.
Merry Christmas one and all, that's right I said Christmas, make sure yours is a good one.
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
