It's not Christmas, it's "midwinter festival". The name Christmas is likely to fuel cultural differences leading to an escalation in fundamental religious hatred . . . or was it a dream when I heard that on the Today program this morning?
no - I heard it too Ed....
thing is, it's the PC christians starting that, thinking that celebrating the birth of Christ will upset the rest of the world.
Ask any muslim about Christ - he's a huge figure in the islamic faith too, sure they'll not be too upset that we're celbrating the birth of one of their prophets!
Oh no . . . I really did think I'd dreamt it, especial the bit about England doing well in the cricket.
Anyway, nice logo . . . maybe it should become a monthly comp! Who can design the best festive logo . . .

Well, most buddhist here in Thailand don't seem to mind. On the contrary, Christmas decorations and jinglebells already all over the place here in bangkok. they just love it... and so do the department stores.
My brother in law lives in Japan. He still has to work Xmas day, but Japanese shops are realising, they're missing the biggest retail festival of the year. A few years ago, one store set up their shop window, showing the nativity scene - you know what it looks like, Mary and Joseph, 3 shepherds, wise men and Rudolph, Blitzen and Rudolph! My favourite though is the store that had Santa on the cross . . .
