    Christian Arabs celebrate it their's is the religious aspect of Christmas.

    .....watching their flocks by night???
    ( I do not believe it was December, its hellishly cold then and on sandy patches with wind howling over a desert area? Plus their flocks (?)they would be in some enclosed area, otherwise they would wander around,and at night pitch black? So lets think about August /September? )

    Must have been December, Balan because the three wise men followed the twinkling star.

    All the inns were packed because the punters had all been to the Christmas markets! "How did they know it was Christmas", is a question that constantly puzzles me!

    No Christmas for the Pally's though Balan...

    No these would be Muslims,and here so close to fanatical Islam,certainly Christians flee or keep in a low key,no, their holy month is Ramadan and its festivity's after.

    Eid al-Fitr means “festival of breaking the fast” and marks the end of Ramadan. Traditionally, Eid is celebrated for three days in all Muslim-majority countries.

    We know that Balan, between Blackburn, Burnley and Bolton we must have nigh on half a million Muslims all living relatively peacefully on our doorsteps.

    Anyway, Islam had not even been invented when Jesus was born.

    Name the twinkling star ,and I supply you with more info. Sirus would be low in the night sky in December. Right now in the east Mars ,a reddish star is visible after sunset ,and before dawn Jupiter and Saturn are to be seen.

    Hotels or Inns packed out ? Maybe it was Ramadan? it certainly was not Christmas. but no horse racing ,camel racing dog racing etc its to hilly around Bethlehem beit =House lechem = Bread and that's Hebrew not Arabic !!!!

    BT: I am very glad you said that ''Anyway, Islam had not even been invented when Jesus was born.

    ''The Palestinians are trying to say 'Jesus was a Muslim. Falsely in order to prove that they were there before the Jews. Take for instance Bethlehem, that's a hebrew word meaning The house of bread, most likely a place were bread was made. Or Beersheva a city in the Northern Negev desert, that means, a well, (Ba'er = באר sheva = seven = שבע ) "Well of Seven"

    In the Old Testament = Genesis 26 v 23 And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. (Abraham )
    Genesis 26 v 25 .......and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants digged a well.


    ....and the Pally's are trying to claim ,it's their land!

    A number of Palestinian leaders have this week claimed Jesus as one of their own, but one went further, naming him as the first Islamic Shahid. Jesus was not only a Palestinian, but he was the first Islamic martyr, a senior Palestinian leader said this week.
    Writing on his Facebook account on December 24 – Christmas Eve – Tawfiq Tirawi, a senior Palestinian leader and Fatah Central Committee member, posted: “This is blessed Christmas, The birthday of our lord Jesus the Messiah, the first Palestinian and the first Shahid [Islamic Martyr],” Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) has reported.

    You leave Becky alone, she's a socialist goddess in my eyes and I am happy Starmer sacked her, just to prove she's on the left side of socialism.

    I have studied all of the major religions Balan and Islam intrigues me the most. Everything about it is terribly conflicted, lots of the Muslims I know are really lovely people, they go about their business in a proper fashion, but then you have the whack jobs who perform atrocities like they did in Vienna yesterday. Peaceful religion my arse!

    I always think, "What Would Jesus Do?" and he would not advocate killing innocent people, having dinner in central Vienna.

    what does that mean even ?........whatever were told to do by the ptb, it's just the same as anyone telling us to do anything, so is entirely up to us whether we have Christmas or not....though iit might come as a surprise to some, but we are perfectly within our rights to continue as normal - there is a choice, always has been, always will be....Consent is down to you.
