Hot and sweaty. How can you not love it?silverex said:Don't like the hot weather
Have to agree with you on those points.silverex said:don't like the crowds in the shopping centres, don't like having to think of what to buy people, don't like all the 'snow' decorations when it's 35 degrees, don't like Christmas Carols - I'm the original grumpy old man!

Sing those silly secular Christmas songs that prove Australia is becoming Americanized.
Remember that the Christmas tree has pagan origin.
Furthermore, the word "Christmas" could in fact mean "Christ-mass", and is referring to the Catholic mass, the event in which Jesus is constantly re-sacrificed, in the form of wafers and grape juice. The priest becomes "another Jesus" and has the power to conduct this sacrifice, by bringing Jesus down from Heaven and by commanding him to "die" again for the parishoners. (?)
This is a possibility on the origins of the word itself. But I am not 100% sure.
