A very Merry Christmas to one & all. I must say that I often despair at the rampant commercialisation of Christmas these days & the Americanised Coca-Cola version of "Santa", rather than the very real historical figure of Saint Nicholas/Father Christmas.

I was also recently shocked to discover that one of our big local retail stores had actually removed all their Christmas merchandise from their shelves 2 weeks before Christmas Day, & replaced it with other non-Christmas merchandise. For that retailer - it seemed that they thought Christmas was over, before it had even begun! So bad luck to those people who might have been going there to do a bit of last-minute Christmas shopping. It seems that very few of our retail stores understand the true meaning of Christmas, or even when Christmas actually is, these days.

And don't get me started on all the hokery pokery wokery nonsense that people carry on with these days at Christmas time - not wanting to offend people with the word "Christmas" - but quite happy to offend some people by still wishing others a happy Eid, Ramadan, Hannukah, Purim, Diwali etc. And the funny thing is that these people are just way too stupid to even realise how hypocritical they are being, with their supposed "woke" behaviours. The secular society at the moment, seems to be taking giant leaps & strides backwards, unfortunately...

Merry Christmas! I pray that the UK can withstand demoralization. The woman arrested for praying was terrifying. https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-celebrate-christmas
