Christmas Lights
- Steve Cooke (11th Nov 2025 - 18:47:40)
I know times have changed and Christmas starts much sooner nowadays but I do find it distasteful and disrespectful when I see residential buildings fully decked out with Christmas lights etc even before Remembrance Day. It’s definitely in poor taste.

Hi Steve,
I don't think it is disrespectful for local residents to display Christmas illuminations. It is their own home, and most will support the Poppy Appeal etc..
Christmas, is a Christian celebration, means different meanings to
different families, and others.
Rejoice, we have something happy to look forward to, and celebrate with families, and friends.
It is not a disapproval point of the calendar year.

Though I know there are many genuinely religious people who celebrate Christmas for what it is, the birth of Christ, I think the Slade Christmas song sums up perfectly what Christmas has become. The very first thing you hear on the song is the ringing of a cash register. My church is packed on Christmas Eve with young families I have never seen before, where are they the rest of the year? Cue the onslaught of D bashers. 😀
