Too late , it appears you may have gone crazy already since Christmas trees and nativity plays are allowed in London .
Then again you might be on to something there though , a return to traditional culture , banning some of the frivolities associated with Christmas , like during the Commonwealth .
Or perhaps getting rid of the foriegn culture that has been introduced to your culture , like Christmas trees

Yeah yeah, all well and good and fair warning, but Birmingham city councuil DID insist on calling Christmas "Winterval" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/210672.stm and anyone who gets a "christmas" card from a local authority that actually contains the word "christmas", as opposed to "seasons greetings" or "happy holidays" should auction it on ebay, it would be worth a fortune for rarity value.

The issue, Tribesman, is not that we want to purge foreign cultures from the UK, that would be insane, boring, oh yes and impossible. What we want is to be able to celebrate christmas, or serve alcohol at an office party, or have a pig on a poster without some git popping up and saying that because HIS religious beliefs stop HIM having a tree or drinking a beer, we all have to stop too.

Is that too much to ask? A bit of toleration in return for the toleration we are asked to show? I dont think so.
