In 1914 on Christmas Eve, British soldiers heard German Christmas carols from the other side of the trenches. It is said that the following day, both sides crossed over the trenches to exchange gifts that led them to play an impromptu game of football. For just a day or two, there was a truce. Nowhere else on the front lines during the First World War was there a ceasefire. After the fighting continued, the British and German High Commands became highly invested in preventing the reoccurrence of such an incident. Despite all their efforts, brief truces between soldiers were still reported, which didn't only take place on Christmas.
During the Second World War, the British were under attack continuously. For countless, Christmas was cancelled, as they spent the festive season apart from their loved one's without the hope of ever seeing them again... The children had been sent up North, the men and/or women were fighting abroad. The most basic items, such as food, were scarce, as Christmas became a luxury that many could not afford. However, this did not stop the people from crafting toys or hand-made cards. On an unrelated note, the most common present during the war was food, which could be delivered by the shopkeeper for those with the resources. It should be mentioned that the wrapper had to be provided by the customer, so presents were hardly a surprise as they were generally unwrapped. However, that's not all. Families saved up every penny separately for an entire year and everyone had to chip in at the end of it, simply so they could send a little food to distant or nearby relatives.
"As in peacetime, singing songs and carols were rituals of wartime Christmases, along with the performance of pantomimes and festive plays. The BBC also broadcast a special Christmas Day radio programme. From 1939 onwards this featured a Christmas speech by King George VI, and became so popular with listeners that it became an annual ritual." (Imperial War Museum)
76 Days Until Christmas...
As Icelands offers a Halloween Mask next to chocolate Santas, Oxford Street has already hung their Christmas lights... Earlier than usual, even by the modern standard of corporate greed or efficiency.
However, when the general populous offends other religions by proclaiming their attachment to their cultural and religious traditions, is labelled as 'racist', 'politically incorrect' or is fearful that they may be targeted as a result...then it's obvious that dice have already fallen. Openly displaying the decorations for Christmas this early, at the same time as the lead-up to Halloween, is a means of testing the waters. If we had flooded the stores with Christmas goodies at around 15th of December, then there would be less time to deal with the socio-cultural backlash that is currently inbound.
We have no intention to offend any resident of the United Kingdom, but for a diverse mixture of people to sacrifice their heritage to accommodate the influx of economic migrants goes against the very essence of the winter holidays. The Spirit of Christmas is one of giving selflessly, rather than receiving, but there have to be boundaries... Giving without end can become self-destructive, particularly when there is a lack of respect and/or recognition of ones ancestral roots. Our religious beliefs can make us egoistic and intolerant towards other cultures, but equally other cultures can take refuge in a country without respect for their customs. In the modern world, we no longer demand other cultures adhere to local customs, yet we expect a modicum of integration. That does not mean sacrificing cultural traditions on either side, but tolerating that both sides have the right to exercise their beliefs peacefully.
In Austria, it is only a matter of time until the majority of Kindergartens will be passing on Christmas, which means no carol-singing, no decorated trees or visits from Saint Nik with Knecht Ruperecht. Ironically, they are sacrificing their religious rights under the guise of religious freedom, as is expected from many of us in one way or another...
That's All Folks
Conclusively, since Brexit, economic migrants have attempted to heighten the Germanic influence over the United Kingdom, as has everyone that benefits from the EU. From what I have witnessed, they perceive Germany as the country everyone follows, instead of the country that every nation is desperately attempting to lock the door on... Merkel has turned Germany into the Trojan Horse of Europe, meanwhile the mainstream media is silent. Almost all left-wing politicians are blindsided by a long-con that has been in the works since the fall of the Berliner Mauer and still there is hope. How, you may ask...Well, behavioural science.
Leaders such as Corbyn and Abbot are not equipped for real-life hardship. Yes, they may have endured much suffering, as they clawed their way up the ranks, but it only takes one look into their eyes in order to gage their responses when the going get tough. Historically, left-wing politicians have repeatedly demonstrated certain inclinations, which make them ideal for the position. They are often the type for whom all or nothing is not a difficult decision. When they fall from power, or something does not go the way that they had intended, they have no qualms about reacting disproportionately to the situation. In the lead-up to a war, such impulsive actions create casualties, which would be a problem if the elite any other role for these people instead of a 'loose cannonball'.
Labour is predicted to suffer a large fall after it has been soaring up the political ranks, so to speak, but what form that fall may take is anyone's guess. What we can tell you is that Labour will ultimately lose power, as a result of political misdeeds and general ignorance. As the hubris of left-wing, multicultural correctness will continue to enforce itself with the threat of imprisonment or death at tip of a gun, nail after nail will be hammered into the coffin of our free world...
