It was me who brought up the fact that Christians highjacked the winter solstice. I celebrate both, but I agree with you, no-one should feel the need to justify how they believe, and perhaps you were just a little over-sensitive. You just need to get a little tougher. Next time some-one questions your beliefs, just tell them you believe in the same way as some believe in virgin births, people rising from the dead as zombies, or gods living in Juju trees. Each to their own.

I vote we all celebrate everyone else's special days. That way we get more drinkies and more prezzies. I definately believe in Santa... Hint hint.......

Growing old gracefully is O.K. but growing old disgracefully is much more fun.
