Thanks stef but you are a month early. Xmas in July is an institution here. Lots of the best restaurants have their big traditional meal and it gets all booked out and people go along to enjoy the celebrations with the turkey, the roast, the xmas pudd, the full works.
But July, stef, July.

Happy financial year to you also, for 1st july.

Sherri,

I think the financial year in the UK is April 1st. I think its meant to be a joke!

Jim,I knew it was. Somehow a poker faced reply sometimes confuses you brits and you aren't sure how to take it.

Like once Mel Gibson was asked if he liked his job and he said-well, it beats basket weaving, so the foreign interviewer looks at him and says "Oh were you once a basket weaver?"

and xmas is in July
Not sure why anyone starts the financial year on april fools day either. If they start that early, their books won't balance next July.

And happy holidays to you all, too.
It is true for me, anyway as I am on a 2 week break between terms.
And if you are still working, at least you will be delighted to know *some* of us are having the holiday we deserve.

As its half way through the year, Shall we call it.

"Merry Half Christmas?"

If you think about it, being halfway through the year means it's pictorially furthest away from christmas on a linear representation of time. I think I've phrased that right?!? But yes, so we should celebrate it by saying

"Merry anti christ mass"

But that might cause great offfense to people who cant take a joke.

If you not want to celebrate Christmas thats ok with me.

Just call i something else.

People been celebrating that time of year for thousands of years.

It only been callled Christmas since 644 AD give or take a few years.

People celebrated because it end of winter and spring on the way.

Anyway its not the event people dispise its how they celebrate it that gets up peoples noses.

Try and do something different this time and if any of your Family compain tell them your starting a new tradition.
