Family, food, gifts and fun for me. I'm not religious so for me, it's just a day out of our normal lives where we all spend some quality time together.

I was just thinking about how people confuse Christmas as baby Jesus's birthday or some such thing but will there be any religion involved in your Christmas or will it just be fun, food and family?

As a church organist I will be thoroughly sick of playing Silent Night for the umpteenth time - even with a boogy-woogy bass.

A couple of years ago I was walking past a wood workshop here in town and they were making Nativity sets, complete with a little led lamp to illuminate it inside the stable. I loved it so bought one. Its out at the base of the tree.
Im not religious but I enjoy looking at the History of the Traditions, and I love hearing hymns and Carols at Christmas. Radio3 normally transmit Carols on the radio on Christmas Eve, usually put the set on to listen |

I might watch a televised carol service or two, or midnight mass.

I took my daughter to a petting farm the other day and they had a nativity scene with a sheep and donkey there. That's probably as close to religious as I'll get this Xmas.

If the church would stump up for a Wurlitzer that might liven things up.
The priest didn't like the idea of me rising through the floor stark naked, playing my organ. He thought the Mothers Union might have a stroke. |

Does taking the lord's name in vain count?

![]() Notice the word Christ Christ mas Maybe you just would prefer Winter Holiday (though Holiday comes from Holy Day). So religion free Mid Winter Break. Happy? |

Wife and her family are pretty religious and as we're off to the Parents-in-law's for Xmas it'll be Christmas Eve Dinner, followed by trip to church for Midnight Mass. Then it'll be off to Church in the morning. We're having one of the priests over for Christmas Dinner so I guess it'll be a very religious Xmas |

Hell no - just massive piles of food and drinks of varying alcoholic strength, followed by heavy snoring in front of the tv

Small fry! The organ in St Stephane's Cathedral Passau, Germany, would blow a Wurlitzer away! It's the largest in Europe.

I'm going to pray every night.
Me too, I'll be praying that any visitors go for the Smirnoff in the fridge, and ignore the Belvedere, Absolut, Stoly, and Grey Goose in the freezer. |
