This would be better suited to GRD.

Chill people, most Christmas cards are okay.

I heard today on the news that more people in Britain go to mosques than go to church. Does this mean that Britain will soon become a muslim nation?

Maybe not, but it shows how many people say they are Christian but aren't really. I would say that Christians are a vast minority in this country. However Christmas is a traditional holiday and I will celebrate jesus just as I celebrate guy fawkes on bonfire night.

For all those who recieved cards with paragraphs of scripture on them, send back cheap cards depicting either sexual humour or toilet humour (or both if you have the nerve).

I sent Christmas cards to my family and close friends.
My daughter makes one and I have it copied...I include a picture of she and I and the cards themselves are non religious, she usually draws a Christmas tree with presents, stockings...

Aw well, there's worse things in life. Hope the rant made you feel better.

And merry x-mas off course

That's brilliant!

At last, somebody else who does this! I always get tremendously offended by people who burn Guy Fawkes in effigy. I tell them, "you don't understand - this man tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament! He was absolutely right!!!"

Seriously, though. Guido Fawkes is one Catholic I have a tremendous amount of respect for.

I made certain that my Xmas cards had no religious connotations. Poinsettas are pictured on the front with the saying "Season's Greetings" and the inside says "...and best wishes for a happy new year."
