Dear Sir,
We can’t advise Mr Baalham (November en) who advocates cancelling Christmas. We can however point out a few consequences of the line he has taken. We have been subject to such opinions for the last 14 years.
Our son-in-law told us, before he and our daughter were married, that he, ‘didn’t celebrate Christmas’. It had been our custom to attend morning service on Christmas day before enjoying Christmas lunch, gifts, family games and a pleasurable day of relaxation.
