Nowhere like England at Christmas time
Went to LA - too warm for Christmas. Christmas trees and lights just don't work with sunshine.
Going back to UK next christmas - craving Quality St and Markseys mince pies and christmas pud
Went to Canters Deli in LA - fun fun BUT not a turkey or cracker in sight
Random I know but just thought I'd share.

Palm trees with Christmas lights.....
Just be careful on this forum, calling it Christmas vs. Holiday may cause Liberals to get an aneurism......
That is racist and exclusionary, what about Kwanzaa and Hanukkah..... and Winter Solstice.... according to them.

Re: Nowhere like England at Christmas time
PS - we really did miss the UK this Christmas, as well as the family - yes I know it rained in biblical proportions, and is still raining, and yes, I know that about 1.5 million in the UK currently have Nora virus (seriously) - but England is still England...

Do you post with the sole intention of winding people up?

Of course he did, and he was too lazy to read the thread where just about everyone came out for Happy Christmas.

Me as well and I am not Jewish, I could not give a flying fig what anyone thinks, it is and will always be "Christmas" I don't ever want to go back to England but I must admit you need the snow to make it magical
