I find Christmas interesting for it’s symbology, like the Christmas tree is a pagan symbol, I think it’s to worship some Norse God. And mistletoe is a pagan fertility symbol, I could go on and I probably will.

What really gets the pedant in my riled, is that there were no three wise men, only wise man with three gifts and Christ was a young boy, not a baby in the manger when they hiked over from the East.

But my favourite is the Coca Cola company, the reason Santa (not Father Christmas, two different people) is red is because of the coca cola company. But I can’t be bothered to explaing so go look it up.

Lyndoman, there are at least 20 or so houses within 500 metres of my house that have Christmas decorations up already! And I’m talking the whole deal, blow up santas, fake reindeer and enough Christmas lights to make you blind.

For me a Christmas theme on a website gives me a two second ahhhh, and then it’s “get this crap off”.

If you are going to ruin your website with seasonal themes, then remember that Christmas does not start in November. I went past a house the other day and they already had their decorations up, what the hell is wrong with cold grey walls?

Actually I am quite looking forward to crimbo, my little boy is one and it’s his first, so I have an excuse to buy a hornby train set. Yeah.

Not sure about the falling snow – Christmas here in Australia is often a day for shorts and T-Shirts :-)
