perhaps it should be a surprise date announced by the government say in the queen's speech - everyone likes a surprise at christmas. (not going to post another echo). |
|
|
It would also give new meaning to the phrase "Christmas gets earlier every year", though actually I think a lunar calendar slips, so it would get later each year. |
|
|
I believe the Muslim calendar does not have a periodic correction, so Eid gradually progresses around the year. |
|
|
I like the idea of a randomly selected "Next Christmas" picked by the Queen. I think pulling the date out of a giant party hat would be satisfyingly festive. |
|
|
Sometimes, Christmas would happen the next day, on other occasions, two years might pass. |
|
|
I can imagine some pleasing chaos in the greetings card, bauble and travel industries. |
|
|
Indeed the Muslim calendar would be more appropriate, being Jewish I just went with it because I knew it shifted. |
|
|
+ would the Queen kindly pull it out of a hat for US, too? |
