There are so many divisions in the world right now, let's just have one nice thread where we can all enjoy talking about tinsel and mince pies without things getting nasty.

I agree. However, this works both ways. Both religious people AND 'non-believers' are capable of being a bit arrogant, and thinking that their beliefs are the correct ones! (And anyone who doesn't agree is wrong, or stupid!)

Yes that is what I mean


When I said ''If people were so secure in their beliefs they would not feel the need to belittle others choices''.
I mean whatever they choose to believe, religious or believe nothing or believe science


Agreed tealover. I Like tinsel. mince pies though, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww hahaha

Yeah to be honest I can't stand mince pies either! I didn't think they'd be contentious though :rotfl:.

I see Christmas as a fun time and a time to try and put differences aside (peace on Earth and all that). With everything going on right now, we could certainly do with something like that!


Not particularly religious myself but have no problem with people that are - I'd rather live in a world where everybody is different (and interesting) than one where we were all the same (and boring).


My Christmas decorations will go up in December - it has come around so fast for me this year that I haven't even had time to think about Christmas yet!

I had a mince pie for breakfast today. I start on the mince pies early but won't put any decorations up until about a week before Christmas. We've got a very boisterous kitten and I'm slightly apprehensive about how he's going to behave around the tree. He'll either pee on it or try to eat it.

He'll very probably act like this. My cat loved Christmas.

We will probably put ours up the week before Christmas. I have not yet started any Christmas shopping and am leaving it for last week in November and first week in December. I don't really want to wish the year away yet.
