How can any one spoil this for children - especially from one in the teaching profession?

Spuds

I thougt that Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in the same God but fight each other and within their groupings over details of various prophets etc. If He exists, I wonder what He (or She) makes of it all.

In Holland they have Sinta Claus, who comes eariler (5th Dec) with his Moorish (maybe Muslim?) helper - Zwart Piet (rather non PC Black Peter! So even in the Father Christmas world there is rivalry. I believe that the date of Christmas was chosen to coincide with the old Pagan Yueltide so things are alittle confused all round.

See Zwart">http://">Zwart Piet

In Germany The Weihnachtsman doesn't come to naughty children I believe. Their celebration days are different too. All the presents are opened the night before Christmas. That probably is a wise move too.

"All the presents are opened the night before Christmas"

Well that's it then, no more surprises of an orange and/or apple on Christmas day, and for the very few lucky ones, possibly a cowboy outfit or Dinky toy :O(

(The above is meant for the older forum users, who may have remembered it well?)

john bunyan, i thought the minstrels were banned.? Also depicting a person as "Black Peter" is racist,so the pc crowd would say.

"Spuds"- an orange and/or apple on Christmas day.

You were posh - I did believe but it did no good!

I will have to have a word with my dentist - he's still dishing out those miniature envelopes for the Tooth Fairy.
