'Christmas' was banned in Scotland for a couple of hundred years by the Protestant church, and is still not a really big deal at all, energy being saved for Hogmanay (New Year).

I say that as someone who has started newsrooms from scratch sometimes with two people - if you’re doing your job correctly you will need a lawyer because the first thing rich people do when you write something they don’t like is threaten you legally. It’s cheap for them and expensive for you

This is why girls are socialized early on to go in pairs. It's not because we need make-up tips.
