Who are people who find Christmas offensive

I work for a big company and Christmas is referred to as much as it ever has been. There's been constant talk of the Christmas party in a few weeks. We will do Christmas jumper day. We have a diverse workforce. No one is offended.

My kids' school has absolutely LOADS of Christmas stuff coming up. Christmas fair, Christmas Carol concert, Christmas lunch, Christmas jumper day. No one is offended.

Nobody in the UK is offended by Christmas. The leftie Corbyn shagger types perpetuate the myth, trying to divide the country. It doesnt work. Why would other religious want it banned? Its the most lucrative time of the year for many, particularly the business people

If anything I'd like it if the religious bits were just Christmas and the other bits were "let's have a nice time to mitigate midwinter as people have for millennia". And less buying tat as that's the opposite of biblical!

I don't know why people get worked up about this. Trees, cakes, crackers...it really doesn't matter what they're called.

The important thing is getting together as a family and celebrating the birth of Non-denominational Manger Baby.

Their website says differently

To be fair op seems to be saying she had never seen this so it must be made up manufactured outrage.

Well you made the effort OP, it wouldn’t be Christmas without the They’re Banning Christmas outrage. It’s sort of become its own tradition now hasn’t it? Established enough to have its own special lunch and songs maybe?

Indeed, if anything we could do with a bit less Christmas. It's fucking everywhere for weeks on end.

This!!!!

Ridiculously so. It’s all a massive and complete waste of money.

Yes we had "not Easter eggs" as well this year didn't we. As night follows day...

Outrageous. What would Baby Jesus say? The Bible is full of Christmas trees and fruit cakes.

Even if it was actually a thing then putting evergreens in the house predates Christianity anyway.

Tesco have some their trees as “evergreen” etc for decades. Someone posted a picture on Twitter of their tree they got 20 years ago.

Tesco are also selling about seventeen different varieties of Christmas cake. If they sold them all as just plain Christmas cake it would get very confusing in terms of online shopping etc.

That's surely more to do with the Americanisation/globalisation of language as Americans have called it holiday season for ages due to tne proxmity of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

OP still not forthcoming........

I come from a really multicultural area.
Everyone I have ever met gets in on the Christmas spirit!
the only thing public/voluntary sector workplaces may do differently is do no booze places for the Christmas do? Possibly? But I doubt many cash strapped northern voluntary and public sector organisations do a Christmas party anymore anyway?

Nobody finds Christmas offensive

Nobody is curtailing Christmas. It’s literally fucking everywhere.

Made me think of this

Any organisation i have worked in in the last 20 years has changed from any emails being sent out around that time as referring to the 'holiday season' and not to Christmas directly as a religious festival. I have assumed that this is so as not to upset anyone that doesn't celebrate Christmas or to be inclusive of different celebrations falling around that time. Also the assumption seems to be that Christmas is not a religious festival anymore, even though of course it is for Christians. However other religious festivals will be mentioned by name such as Hanukkah and Eid etc. at other times. So in my experience there has been a subtle cultural shift around language.

No one is offended by Christmas or saying it shouldn't be celebrated.

Tesco are not selling :

Xmas trees - they’re selling Evergreen Trees
Xmas cake - they’re selling Iced Top Fruit Cake

This is going to be about the Tesco evergreen tree isn't it.

There are no organisations curtailing Christmas, it's just an opportunity for some pointless frothing.

which organisations have curtailed things and specifically said it’s because they don’t want to offend people?

Seems business as usual to me, as it does every year.

I’m Muslim (and religious too), don’t massively celebrate Christmas but usually do a Christmas dinner, send cards etc. My son is playing Jospeh in the nativity this year. Not offended (although maybe some of the other parents in the CoE school are!)
