I think that I like Christmas Eve almost better than Christmas Day. At home years and years ago there was always such a feeling of expectation, my Granny coming to stay, togther with my younger Uncle, my mother putting finishing touches to the tree, helping with veg, my stepfather coming in with this and that and catching my mother under the mistletoe!, looking out the stocking, an orange for santa placed by the chimney. Midnight for young grownups, church on Xmas morning for my Granny and me, until one year I was old enough to join the midnighters. So many happy memories. |

Apart from the gun laws in America, faith is also being scrutinised there right now. |

I think that perhaps the late Dave Allen had the right idea when, at the end of his programmes he wished everyone goodnight and 'May your God go with you'. That sentiment would, I think, cover everyone of any faith. |

We all believe in different ways & in different things & our faith is our own. |

I totally agree with your last sentance Carol. I KNOW that my end will be much easier in the belief that I will once again be with those that I have loved and who have loved me. I remember that my Granny believed this totally, and that it gave her immense comfort at the end of her life, and to feel that she was comforted at a rather difficult end gave us all enormous comfort and strength too, so I don't care what anyone says, that has to be a good thing. |

Maggie (Edit). Christmas Time is Advent from 2nd Dec till 24th. Then I would say it included the next 12 days of Christmas till Epiphany. I would not agree with Tesco that it starts in September and ends in February. |
