I'm afraid it is another tradition that has died,where i live now the nearby town has had two new shopping centres opened in the last few years,no need to travel to Dublin anymore,all the shops are here,where a few years ago there was feck all,,anyone i know doesn't bother anyway,no need too.
Feast of the Imacculate Conception, a holy day of obligation for Catholics. No school, but shops were open. In more recent times signified the start of "Operation Freeflow" to help ease Christmas traffic.
Replaced by Black Friday and Cyber Monday,
Used to signify the start of Christmas and the Epiphany on Jan 6th used to be the end.
Not many Cribs in people's houses anymore either !
Most people want to have sex without getting pregnant.
Who wants to celebrate getting pregnant without the sex?

I think you're mixing up conceptions. This one is the conception of Mary, which I think was a good old fashioned conception.Most people want to have sex without getting pregnant.

My wife caught me wearing ladies underwear and threatened to leave me.
So I packed up all her clothes
And left.

You're right, it's about Mary's conception, not Jesus. She was made imacculate ( free from original sin) at her conception.
9months later, September 8th, we have the feast of the Nativity!
You need to visit Father Casey!!
Is you insulted the Quran, there would be a fatwa on you.
