A Politically Correct Holiday
This time of year we remember those persons who are no longer viable; we welcome those newly viable persons to celebrate their first season to be jolly.Gifts allegedly made by vertically challenged non gender specific persons are placed under a holiday tree adorned with colourful multi-cultural decorations.
Non-affiliated Reindeer, one nasally challenged lay peacefully in a neutral diorama that was once called a nativity scene prior to becoming offensive, lyrics of songs of the past are now seen as racially insensitive and we now simply nod at each other while sipping on a glass of non-alcoholic egg and lactate based beverages, Long gone is the scent of roasting Turkey bird, replaced by a vegetarian nut loaf made from organic and free range non guilt complex forming ingredients.
Mistletoe is now banned due to the unwanted invasions of personal space with the sole purpose of s*xual assault against the opposite gender.
As midnight approaches the tension increases, the great genial non gender specific bearded person requests permission to enter private abodes by way of chimneys, archaic pieces of coal for the bad and gifts for the good are placed under the holiday tree, provided this person is left a small token of non-alcoholic sherry or a non-animal suet based pie our genderless giver will be happy.
Happy Holidays

The word 'holiday' comes from 'holy day' so is not politically correct
HPRD?
Although Happy might be discriminatory against the resident grumps and naysayers.
That should cover those who do work; those that don't ever work, those who have a break from work, and those who work in emergency-type roles where they may be on call 24/7, even if not specifically doing a 9-5-type job.
"Have an ok time if you like that sort of thing, I suppose ! "
For someone special like you I write "Hello" on the front of the card
nothing says nothing like nothing
Wonk and be joyful that you are doing your part for world peace
We mustn't be as afraid of snogging over here
Oh yeah, I forgot we are not one of those anymore
This was simply tongue and cheek outlining the preposterous ways we are being subjected to political correctness for Christmas and many other traditional holidays, the kids of today are the ones that will suffer the most.
At least here we can celebrate without being subjected to such stupidity.
A very happy Christmas to you too
Yes, lucky are we on here. Not quite as bad as in many institutions these days. Schools are specially subject to confusing details of what is and not correct.
washing up glove lefty in the foetal position. Best to try and retain the exoticness of the unknown. Maintain the anticipation.
Not sure why I said that, perhaps childhood trauma.
I'll take my chances in real life - but hide the sherry
Here we dont have the excessive hype, the madness of Christmas shopping, the gluttony thats common elsewhere, We celebrate 3 kings day on the 6th of January, that's when the kids get gifts and we get to eat Roscon de Reyes, fabulous cream filled cakey things.
For many reasons I am not a lover of this time of year, I hate the commercialism of what its become, so Im grateful to be in a place that makes me feel comfortable.
We do have xmas lights in my small town, so there is a festive air, Its not all sad!
It was just taken from the winter solstice/yule festival.
I like this time of year. I can't put out my decorations because of the builders and the rubble, but I like the brightness and silliness of them, the beauty of a few, the sentimentality of others, and the continuity with years past - some of them are 30 years old and have moved countries with me 3 times because I'm not just hanging up ornaments, I'm hanging up memories
If you can get your hands on them easily, hang just a couple where you normally sit down, that will feel more christmassy
hi Map,
I don't care much for being politically correct. And I don't just call a spade a spade.; to me it is a bloody shovel. If the board selects a woman as chairman then she is the bloody chairman and if she wants to be the bloody chairwoman or chairperson, then it is her good right.
I have a poinsettia nervously perched above the rubble, and a decal on the door, and next Christmas will be a blaze of colour
Tried to post a photo but it is just too much of a schlep, the page crashed.
Just sayin', CS - the current photo loading is a royal pain in the butt.
