In response to the earlier point about people being fired, over here a principal had to do a written apology to people in her school community because she said Merry Christmas in the school newsletter. It's been in the news, and frankly, we say stuff 'em.

If someone tells me to say Happy Holidays I refuse. I can recognise not everyone is Christian. I can recognise not everyone celebrates Christmas. But me offending your beliefs by saying two words? How about you offending my beliefs my ruining the day with irrelevant political correctness.

And we haven't had major changes over here, probably because our PM is a Christian, as are most of us ex-cons .

• Well as inflation rises, one is naturally compelled to spend more... what? It makes sense, and you think of a better reason
• Not too much, just buy presents for close family.
• Well yes, but what better way to inspire joining in a dwindling church be offering the chance to get drunk .
• I think someone should celebrate how they want, provided it doesn't break any of the Commandments. If sitting there is quiet contemplation is good for you, then do it. If spending money on friends and family is good, then you do that too.
