I will admit upfront that I have not liked Christmas since I was 12. I especially don't like it now that I'm old and living in a Buddhist country where it's no big thing. For me, celebrating Christmas means having a lot of memories about people who are dead.
What I really don't like is the increased thing here in Thailand to celebrate Christmas. When I first moved here over 10 years ago, there was almost nothing to remind you that Christmas was coming. But I was in a restaurant two nights ago that had decked the halls with so much I thought I was back in Bethlehem ...... Pennsylvania .......... for the holidays.
I don't like it. Christmas does not belong in a country that's 99% Buddhist or Muslim.

Maybe he thinks he has everyone fooled this time too. Great thinking. Get banned on this board, but re-register with a new handle so the idiocy can continue. Anyone care to start guessing how long it will take before the moderators catch on and get rid of him again?

Well yes, now that you mention it, there is a familiar ignorance of punctuation, spelling, capitalization and an incoherent sentence. (And this in only two short sentences.)
In Thailand it is not unusual to adopt a new name after one has sullied the old one.
It is best to fetch the insecticide before the infestation becomes serious.
