When are you putting up your winter tree?

I am not sure about ours yet. We might put some winter decorations up today though.

I would call it Christmas but I don't want to offend people and I might get arrested for religious hatred or somthing if I use the term Christmas.

I might even get some Spring eggs next year

 

And a happy non-denominational holiday season to you too.

 

Christmas it is and christmas it will stay. It's going to get mine up next Saturday and flash it in the window. .

 

and a happy Yuletide to you too!

 

Until I get round to putting the evil period in the swear filter...

 

Good for you, I wanted to put a real tree in the front garden but my mum is only willing to spend £10 on it and I have no money to make up for the difference.

We had to pull the tree down when he had the decorators to paint the outside of the house, the last few years we put white lights on it and it looked lovely.

I think most people have realised that my first post was an attempt of sarcasim due to the policaly correct world we live in that tries to ban Christmas.

 

Christmas sucks. Put it in the swearword filter forthwith, cheers Mark

 

Bah humbug to the lot of yers!!!!
I shall be flashing my erection very soon, I'm hoping I don't have to shave too much off like I did last year when it was too big

 

That sounds err highly dodgy

I just wish we could get a cheap christmas tree from where, my dad won't put a tree in the car because it ruins it, erm its a 10 year old Escort how much damage can a few pine needles really do? Knock 20p of its value?

 

Been a few up around here for a couple of weeks already. Accompanied by the fully blinged up houses too!

 

Christmas is the only time of year when tackyness and bling is allowed

 

In which case Andover is taking its full share.

If I get my way this year there will not be a tree.

 

As is Portsmouth - plenty of Christmas Bling out and about already!

 

Mine's up since yesterday.

 

This house won't be having any decorations put up... why waste good money buying tree and decorations when you could have far more enjoyment out of it down the pub?

 

will be getting a nine footer next week (actually it's six foot but I have to maintain the proportional lie to my wife... ) - I tend to fiind keeping one up at a convincing angle for any longer than two weeks before Xmas is a strain these days..

as an atheist I absolutely defend my right to celebrate Christmas.
I loathe the mealy mouthed corporate greetings cards people now send saying 'Happy holidays'. I mean really, whoever heard of someone actually celebrating Kwanza for Chrissakes!

 

Yeah, and I bet it's the owners of these blinged up houses that want a white christmas. With all the extra amperage/wattage their tacky sh** draws, the extra global warming will prevent any snow falling anyway

A couple of the houses around here are trully hideously decorated.

 

I'm thinking of getting it up this Friday

Time once again to polish my baubles and admire the way they dangle

I need to find a fairy to surmount my proud erection (the angel I got last year was too heavy - fat b!tch :lol: ).

 

Never could figure this out. Do you people actually like to believe in God or not. One moment most of you claimed you have give up all form of religion since it is the source of all evil. Then all of a sudden everyone like to keep Christmas as a religious event. :rds2:

 

Who said anything about keeping it as a relgious event? It's the Winter Solstice as far as I'm concerned. The christians tried to ban this pagan festival back in the 5th century but when they realised the people were having none of that they simply adopted it into the christian calendar, moved it two or three days and called it Christmas.

As for the Christmas tree itself - this has nothing to do with christianity - in fact they saw it as false worship - it's another pagan legacy as is mistletoe but once again those crafty christians brought them into the Christmas celebration.
