MPs from Theresa May's minority government allies have urged people to "keep Christ in their Christmas".
Jim Shannon (Strangford) has received support from four Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) colleagues for his parliamentary motion about the "real meaning" of Christmas.
Prime Minister May agreed a "confidence and supply" arrangement with the 10 DUP MPs, secured with a controversial £1 billion funding deal for Northern Ireland, after she lost her majority following June's snap election.
Shannon's early day motion (EDM) states: "That this House recognises the real meaning of Christmas being the celebration of the birth of Christ.
"(It) urges people to remember to keep Christ in their Christmas and to use the time to show love to family, friends, neighbours and community alike.
"And takes the opportunity to wish everyone in this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland a very Happy Christmas and a blessed New Year."
Shannon tabled a similar motion last year, in which he and other MPs offered Christmas wishes and reaffirmed the "right of every person in this country to use the phrase Happy Christmas".
Paul Girvan (South Antrim), David Simpson (Upper Bann), Gavin Robinson (Belfast East) and Emma Little-Pengelly (Belfast South) are the other DUP signatories.
An EDM is a formal motion submitted for debate in the House of Commons, although very few are actually debated.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
