Our team Christmas lunch was planned for a lovely local pub where the food is good and the ambience favours eating rather than drinking at lunchtime.
Everyone is invited, whether Christian, Atheist, or Muslim.
One person objected to the venue on the grounds it didn't meet their religious needs; so a new venue was found, that is nothing more than a cafe, where a Christmas menu is not on offer, and there will be no alcohol.
The person who objected to the original venue has now decided that they cannot attend the lunch after all as they have to take a relative to a medical appointment.
Am I being unreasonable to be cross that we are now having Christmas lunch where no-one really wants to go, just to accommodate someones religious beliefs, when it is a Christian celebration, and those of other or no faith, can join in or not as they choose.
AIBU in choosing the original venue for next years celebration, or will it be a case of discrimination on the grounds of faith, if one team member chooses not to join a Christian celebration, when all other team members of his faith do join in.
