mossdog Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't see what is "PC" about wanting to take back the festival that was stolen from the people and abused by the Church.Corporate business is responsible for Xmas abuse far more than the Church!

Katwalk Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 No I won't be buying my children an iPhone, a PS3, a bike, an internet TV, a Nintendo DS, an iPad and the world!! Do people actually use those pathetic Christmas catalogues that start in June just so they can buy all of these things for their children at Christmas? What happened to a couple of toys, a hug and a pair of socks for Christmas? Kids who get everything and the world must be so depressed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereolab Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Doubt it TBH, some people love doing it like that, personally I love Christmas its the only thing we've got left; I just hope they don't PC that as well. I know some places have tried, i.e. winter bloody festival. Still ask grandkids what they want from santa, would hate that ever to be taken form kids. No they didn't. Winterval was never an attempt to rename Christmas - it was just a way of promoting it along with other events going on at the same time of year. I thought this had been settled last year after the Daily Mail was forced to print a correction admitting it? You claim its the only thing you have left. Is it really? I'm pretty sure we still have Easter, Bonfire Night, New Years Eve, Halloween - then there was the embarassing spectacle of the Jubilee this year too. Still, if you want to be believe that Christmas has been cancelled and other silly tabloid lies carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I just hope they don't PC that as well. When did PC become a verb? Interesting development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien52 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 This is my 55th Christmas on earth, and I've never heard it called that, so you must be very old or going back a long time indeed, oh & not knocking your beliefs either. Which planet before that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lounge Jay Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 No they didn't. Winterval was never an attempt to rename Christmas - it was just a way of promoting it along with other events going on at the same time of year. True, but this in itself was controvesial, putting the minority festivals on a par with Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
