National Trust calendar - no Christian festivals

The DT has an agenda. No doubt miffed that the extreme candidates in the recent election weren't selected.

I've noticed the increase in ads showing mixed race families which as far as I'm concerned is a good thing.

I wonder how many of those people "white, older and middle class" even go to church at all, let alone at Christmas.

Apparently the calendar was issued for the use of NT volunteers to draw attention to festivals from other religions that the NT may well be celebrating. It is assumed that the volunteers are well aware of Christmas and Easter.

As such, it seems that it isn't on sale to the public.

It's hard to find the truth of this story as search results are full of indignant stories by right wing papers...

That sounds bad op.

They pull the stunts as they, along with others, want to change things.
It is all backfiring[Dutch result, riots in Ireland] but that wont stop them trying I dont think.

Should anyone be interested in this, a quick visit to the Trust's home page shows a range of Christmas celebrations at many properties as always. A search for calendars shows a similar range of traditional publications, including advent calendars.
If the Trust has also published a calendar for non Christian members of other faiths then well done I say.

Hang on, is that this year's or in future?

We have a National Trust shop in town, it sells lovely things for presents.
If that's the case with the calendar, (I'll take a look in a bit), I will put my wicker NT shopping basket down and leave.
Yes, annoyed.

Especially as their core members will all be white, older and middle class.😁
It’s like the ads on tv now, all falling over themselves not to show white families.
