No more shopping at Tesco, John Lewis, Aldi <etc.> until then.  Yes, it makes life temporarily a bit more inconvenient; and no, no need to tell me, I'm certain they don't care.  But if more <and, eventually, enough> people did the same, perhaps they'd get the message, that by starting Xmas advertising that bit earlier every passing year, they're gradually hollowing it out, and killing it, for everyone that bit more every passing year.  Don't know about you, but after close to 2 months of it, relentlessly, by the time we actually reach 25 December, I'm just fed up of it to the back teeth, can't stand the sigh/hearing of yet another Xmas ad, decoration or song.

Jeffrey Shaw   90 #19 Posted November 13, 2017 If Muslims or anyone else wants to partly celebrate Christmas True; but surely each faith has its own observances. Xmas isn't even Christian but (largely) pagan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bob Arctor   11 #24 Posted November 13, 2017 Our friendly Muslim neighbours get us Christmas cards and the kids presents, we get them Eid presents. It's really not that hard to not be a dick. Recently I had a crappy virus and it made thinking really difficult. I thought "this is what bigots and racists must feel like all the time". Well, I tried to think that, but it was quite difficult.
