I thought that was you when you keep saying 'but they didn't cancel Christmas'

Christmas has always been celebrated as Christmas, nothing has been changed about it.

Your example of the 'Rainbow' sheep myth is wrong because that would be a main part having been changed.

88 - 2 fat ladies will be called a myth after the event too.

Nothing was changed about Christmas. In fact have a look at Birmingham council's website. Spot the occasional reference to Christmas? See the massive references to Winterval?

I don't think you're understanding Russ. this happened in 97-98. they tried to make the Christmas period a multicultural thing. they come up with the phrase Winterval. Winterval included everybody.
they had a lot of stick about it and that they should leave Christmas, Christmas.
that's why you won't find the word Winterval on the councils website now. you'll just see the word Christmas.

No council has tried to change, alter or water-down Christmas.

What was the intention of Winterval then?
The change is being made because city council officials hope to create a more multi-cultural atmosphere in keeping with the city's mix of ethnic groups
