I bought a packet of M & S Christmas cards last week. I was in a bit of a rush, and they were pretty, so I put them in my basket. It wasn't until I began writing in them that I suddenly noticed that nowhere on the card was the word 'Christmas'!
On the front of the card it says, 'Winter wishes', and on the inside, 'Enjoy the festive season'.
What's going on???
Okay, if you're not a Christian, these cards may be right up your street. But if you're not a Christian, why send a card at all?
I'm furious! (Not least because I'm now having to write inside every card, 'Happy Christmas!')
And, while I'm ranting, please, please everybody - stop putting an 'X' where 'Christ' should be! If you really do have to shorten 'Christmas' (lack of time? can't be bothered? disrespect?) how about 'C'mas'? But definitely NOT X!
