Guess what ?

its official, you can no longer call your outside xmas fairy lights, christmas lights.

They have to be referred to as "a celebration of light" !

This ridiculous statement was put out on the radio the other day, Tuesday i think, and is a result of certain religious groups being offended !!!!!

Who are these people ?????? please tell me, voice yourselves and give me a reason as to why this show of a celebration of giving is offending you ?

:???:

Vale

You'll probably find that it's not these religious groups themselves but rather overly-PC councils who are worried they'll get into trouble. All this type of thing serves to do is cause tension between different cultures and religions.

Hi,

I'm asian, have been born in England and we have celebrated Christmas from when we were babies. We treat Christmas just like any of our own festivals and if anything we enjoy it more.

I can't understand how anyone can be offended by it as it's such a happy time of the year.

I agree the the world is becoming too politically correct. It really annoys me.
