My mum is no longer with us, but her presents to me were habitually the sort of garment which suited her style, but not mine. My gifts to her were often earmarked to be given away to somebody else she'd forgotten ("That'll do for So-and-so") She did once give me a beautiful 1920s edition of The Rubaiyyat of Omar Khayyam, so that made up for a lot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my mum's defence, we do tend to have an unspoken rule that if we get an expensive birthday present we'll get something small for Christmas and vice versa and this years I did get a beautiful coat for my birthday. I just thought it was a little bit ironic that my mum's idea of getting me something I can unwrap so I didn't feel alone at Xmas has had the opposite effect. Also, she probably didn't like the slippers I bought her either. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went into B&M (budget household goods) towards the end of September and found that all the gardening stock had been replaced by Christmas tat. Clearly their management has no experience of gardens and the many autumn jobs they entail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 5,649 Posted December 8, 2018 Since radio stations decided to pull “Baby it’s Cold Outside” from their playlists because someone was offended, I feel that these other holiday songs must also be removed as they are offensive as well. Do so immediately. 1. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: subjecting minors to softcore porn and cheating on daddy. 2. The Christmas Song: Open fire? Pollution. Folks dressed up like Eskimos? Cultural appropriation 3. Holly Jolly Christmas: Kiss her once for me? Unwanted advances 4. White Christmas? Racist 5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town: Sees you when you’re sleeping? Knows when you’re awake? Peeping Tom stalker 6. Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Everyone telling you be of good cheer? Forced to hide depression 7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Bullying 8. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: Forced gender-specific gifts: dolls for Janice and Jen and boots and pistols (GUNS!) for Barney and Ben 9. Santa Baby: Gold digger, blackmail, hooker 10. Frosty the Snowman: Sexist; not a snow woman 11. Do You Hear What I Hear: blatant disregard for the hearing impaired 12. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas: Make the yuletide GAY? Wow, just wow 13. Jingle Bell Rock: Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet: animal abuse 14. Mistletoe and Holly: Overeating, folks stealing a kiss or two? How did this song ever see the light of day? 15. Winter Wonderland: Parson Brown demanding they get married…forced partnership 16. The Hanukkah song- I'm not Jewish, dont force your religion on others. 17. Grandma got ran over by a reindeer- promotes a hit and run..also I dont want my kid to think theres no such person.. All getting rediculous now 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 14,837 Posted December 8, 2018 I'd be extremely glad to see most of those banned just for being horribly twee. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
