And the Xmas period was a pagan festival in Britain before the bloody Romans
came along!

Very easy to blame everything on this myhtical beast called 'Society'

People thought up religion as a crutch when they were feeling insecure
and confused. It benefited them then. Most people still worship
something in some way. Whether it be Jesus, Muhammad or Man United.

I can understand it to a certain degree; Christmas being seen as a
Christian Festival and one of the social highlights involving a group
called The Damned. For some simple types it may seem like another sign
that society is slipping into the abyss. For me I just see it as a
bringing together and a celebration of campness in all it's cheesiness.
