Political Correctness gone mad

In this case it probably has.

The latest Thomas the Tank Engine story has Thomas delivering a 'special' decorated tree for the winter holiday. Guys it's a bloody Christmas tree and the winter holiday in question isn't going to strain anyone's powers of deduction. Despite what the Daily Mail might say you're allowed to say Christmas, you're allowed to celebrate Christmas - don't serve up own goals like this.

Here they always say, happy holidays. It's supposed to include Christmas and Chanukah. Also I've heard the Christmas tree being called the holiday tree. Not for me, I put up the lights outside our house with "Merry Christmas" signs for all to see,and if anyones offended. Tough.

Aye the crap tabloids tried to say the same shite about Dundee's Christmas Festival last year. On one night they had a light up Dundee night with all lights outside museums, churches etc switched on. The scummy media said that the word Christmas wasn't used. Why should it be when the night was about lighting up the historical places in Dundee? Wtf has that got to do with any religious festival FFS?

We had this crap last year

With the exception of a few Jehovah's witnesses no-one disapproves of or is offended by Christmas Canucks.

I am reminded of the joke where a Catholic boy, a Protestant boy and a Muslim boy are all asked by their teacher to give a report about what they did on Christmas day.

The Catholic boy says "At midnight we all went to midnight mass and when we got home at about two in the morning we were allowed to open one small present before we went to bed. I opened a new shirt from Auntie Jenny which I wore when we went to the Christmas morning mass later on. I didn't sleep much and at seven o'clock I was downstairs and me and my brother opened all of our Christmas presents - the best one was Tracy Island from Thunderbirds. Then we played with our new toys until lunchtime when we had Christmas dinner with turkey and Christmas pudding and Christmas Crackers then I played with my toys again until teatime when we had Christmas cake and mince pies etc etc....... and then I went to bed.

The Protestant boy says. "I got up at five o'clock I opened all my presents and played with my toys then I had Christmas dinner and watched the Queen's speech and played with my toys and then I had Christmas cake and turkey sandwhiches and chocolate and pop and then I threw up and then I went to bed.

The Muslim boy says - I'm a Muslim. We don't have Christmas. On December 25th I got up at my usual time and had breakfast with my father. Then we went to the toy shop he owns and looked at all the empty shelves and did an inventory to find out how we had done that month. Then we went to Mosque and sang the song we always sing this time of year

"What a friend we have in Jesus"

This isn't the book in question is it?

I would assume it's a rewrite of that one Virgil - the story appears in the Telegraph

No Northern I don't fall for Winterval in fact I'm making the same point as you.

There isn't, wasn't and never will be any plan to replace Christmas with Winterval and editing 'Christmas tree' out of a Thomas the Tank Engine episode is just plain silly.

I admit I got the paper it was in wrong - I should have guessed
