I'd like to wish everyone all the best for Christmas and the new year. I was astounded last week when a presenter on the ABC said that Christmas was when we celebrated santa clauses birthday.
What hope have the kids these days got when garbage like that is being thrust upon them. I don't know what Christmas means to everyone else but to me it means we are celebrating when Jesus was born.
Anyway all the best to everyone and and a happy new year and may much gold come your way.
Rowdy

I don't think Jesus was in fact born on christmas day , just the same as the Queen was not born on the queens birthday.
santa Claus may in fact have been born on the day but it is not why it is celebrated
pretty sure kids will be just fine if they were told santa's birth was being celebrated on the day.
I mean I would think most kids associate santa with christmas - and not so much jesus - I could be wrong though , its just a feeling I have

A Very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year to all our members, their family and friends. And I hope all your wishes come true for 2019.
Rowdy that commentator may have said that so it would not offend anyone by say him saying that Christmas was the time to celibate the birth of Christ. You know what it is like these day. You can't say to much just in case it offends some peoples religion or relives.
