How many of you get married in church with Gods blessing but never actually
go to church afterwards?
Most of you.
How many of you have been Christened or have had your child Christened? and
actually been back to church to say thanks in that special way that the
vicar does?
Not many of you.
These are my thoughts and welcome or not, the truth.

Very very good point, however at the same time, Baz, this is a Christian country so pretty much everyone is bound to celebrate a holiday so big, and most people do only celebrate because they have been brought up to, not because of what the day is about or represents.
I myself am a bit of a Scrooge, I must admit I'm not all that festive but I do enjoy Christmas dinner and present giving (and receiving) who doesn't? it's the nightmares of shopping leading up to the day that I hate, this year I could barely breathe shopping in Boots a couple of weeks before Christmas, it was so packed - that does my head in, as well as the over the top three month build up.
