Popular Post CharlieH Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think that the majority not being Christian or knowing the true meaning etc just see them as pretty decorations and nothing more. Take them down when they remember or get fed up, seems to be the norm. Our Big C still has a 20ft tree in the car park, and an eating place I was in at lunchtime still has theirs with lights etc. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kingofthemountain Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 it's pretty and decorative also it's a lot of money put inside and time consuming to instal it, so i can understand they want to enjoy it as long as possible 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when otherwise they would turn into goblins. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what? I guess that explains why Germany is infected with evil goblins. Had the country brought down its decorations on the correct day there's have been no Hitler or Kaiser Wilhelm, or Angela Merkel. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunsetT Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Because they havent been taught the Western superstion that it is unlucky not to take them down. They have enough superstitious nonsense of their own. Lets not burden them with more....555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
