When was the last time you saw an Easter card with an Easter Bunny on, people just seem to be forgetting about the true meaning of these celebrations!
I agree with you. Some people (not pointing fingers here) want to take Christ out of Christmas, which means technically, they should call it...erm, Mass, but then technically, Mass is the service/Liturgy of the Church....and since it is actually Christ - Mass that we are celebrating, there really is no getting away from that fact. No matter how much people want to secularise it.
I'm all for fun and festivity, but lets not forget the reason for the season. And fair enough, not everyone is Christian, but lets not grumble about Christmas being too 'religious'.
If anything there isn't enough reverence and understanding and focus on the real meaning of Christmas.

The Divine calenders from ethical superstore are lovely. As well as having yummy fairtrade chocolate inside, as you open each day there is a little verse about the nativity storyTwins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j0
