CHRISTMAS in the UK is not just a HAPPY HOLIDAY !
It is very very special it is CHRIST~MASS the celebration
of GOD sending his Son ~ The Lord Jesus Christ in Human
Form (The INCARNATION) to be the SAVIOUR of the WORLD.
Traditionally celebrated on 25th DECEMBER. We start in
SEPTEMBER for several reasons ! OCTOBER ~ Halloween
isn\'t big in t he UK ~ in fact many Churches celebrate ALL
SAINTS DAY instead ! NOVEMBER ~ Bonfire Night (5th)
is historical and celebrates GUY FAWKES foiled attempt to
blow up PARLIAMENT (some would welcome a 2nd attempt)
it only lasts ONE DAY and unprotected fires are banned ! In
the UK we don\'t do THANKSGIVING ! SO THIS LEAVES ONLY
CHRISTMAS to prepare for and CELEBRATE ! I start buying
my cards (100) and presents in JANUARY (Sales !) I\'ve
bought my Christmas Crackers ~ Santa outfit ~ mulled wine
~ egg nog & sherry ~ Im READY ! I love the GERMAN Alles
Jahre CHRISTMAS STORES and CHRISTMAS MARKETS.
Christmas Fare & Artifacts are already in OUR Stores. So MY
CHRISTMAS begins in SEPTEMBER and ends in FEBRUARY !
