Christmas for Thais

[alphacat 12]

The Thais I know in the UK go mad at Christmas. They just love sending presents and cards etc.

 

Christmas has nothng whatsover to do with religion.

It was agreat idea when it started (celebrating the winter equinox knowing it was half way through the winter etc) It was always a festival of food and drink and having agood time and then silly Christians hyjacked it.

 

Thai people dont seem to need much of an excuse to party.
