It’s OK for you, Vicky – you can close Marks & Spencer’s and have a private shop. The rest of us have to endure the Christmas crowds and the Xmas masses.
Christmas was originally a celebration to mark the returning of the Sun which was hijacked by the Church. It’s the Media and the Church that rams it down our throats, not TRUE Christians.

By the way, my new novel is now out. Search Amazon, B&N, and Lulu.com for “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Columbine.”
