I’ve had a very merry day this 25th December although we didn’t get the white Christmas that was a possibility. This was my first Christmas by myself and it wasn’t half bad actually, spent half the day watching Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. In fact I’ve watched it twice, once through as normal and then again with the cast commentary.
I am well stuffed with excellent food and am relaxing in front of the computer screen instead of the TV like many people will be this evening. Nothing much worth watching anyway today other than The Simpsons’ alternative to the Queen’s Christmas message.
BBC News: Scrooge or Santa? asks MPs Lembit Opik and Stephen Pound of their views on Christmas.
Funny to read that Stephen Pound MP for Ealing North thinks it has become ‘a pagan festival of greed and falsity’ when it was originally a pagan festival that was hijacked by the church to encourage acceptance of this new religion that was replacing the old ways.
