Current Affairs Christmas is cancelled part 76 - The revenge of the WOKE

[Rita_Poon]

Does anyone know if it's still on tomorrow? Do I still need to put a mince pie and a glass of sherry for Santa?

I think it's a touch early for the gallons you've taste tested so far...

To be fair, I think he’ll be getting a big glass of water and a do not disturb sign this year.

Just let my kids open all their presents and then promptly threw them in the bin. The media told me xmas had been cancelled and i believe them, just about to fire in an angry comment to the daily mail comments section now. Fuming.

When the wokes wanted to rub our noses in it after they wouldn't let us drive home after a few drinks because it was "dangerous".

Snowflake wokes.

I do say "Happy Holidays" as opposed to "Merry Christmas" just because I think it's a courteous thing to do if someone doesn't celebrate Crimbo

However, I don't think I've ever been accosted for using the word "Christmas" and it's not through fear of that happening that I say "Holidays" instead

It's just a nice thing to do that makes some people feel a bit more included

The nutters who lose their mind about "The War on Christmas" because some people decide to show others a modicum of common courtesy are weapons of the highest order IMO

I'm really not sure if modifying Christmas to holidays is polite or necessary although obviously you do you.

I wouldn't be offended if someone wished me happy eid or hannukah or whatever thing they were celebrating, I'd just say thank you and appreciate the gesture.

I've never known someone to get offended by the words Merry Christmas but even if someone was I wouldn't stop doing it in general, I'd just think that particular individual is a professionally offended person to be pitied and wouldn't say it (or anything if I could help it) again.

The irony is, It’s an Americanism , it’s nothing to do with being PC or cancelling anything.

That's more my problem with it than anything else.

I don't have anything against the lovely people across the pond but I like saying Merry Christmas and having it said to me.

Happy holidays sounds like a sanitised and insincere corporate greeting.

Thanks to some teenager that I've never met who wants they/them as pronouns, Christmas has been cancelled. Thanks again, Woke.

Woke scorecard:
--Cancelled Christmas
--Reason for unsucessful coup in Germany
--why Elon Musk bought twitter
--why Jordan Peterson only ate meat for 89 days
--why GB news exists

Trust me, I hate the Americanisation of our language. Some of my sons friends sound like they live in Springfield
Again, not a dig at our friends on here from across the pond.

Why did Jordan Peterson only eat meat? Did he do this? What a Wally.

Something like that. If I recall his daughter was pushing some fad diet of only beef, salt, and water. Pure idiocy.

It's like a weird twist of that Macdonalds documentary thing.

They would punch themselves in the face if someone told them that not liking being punched was woke. Good grief.

I mean in all seriousness, if you do the above, you are going to completely destroy your immune system and digestive track. You may also cause heart failure.
