December is going to be Dull

Earlier this morning, I was too busy eating my cornflakes, when on the BBC News Breakfast I had a terrible feeling:

According to the Daily Express, Christmas is banned in South London due to that it offends Muslims. Now, the council wants to call it 'Celebrity Lights' and 'Winter Lights'. This is what my initial reaction is like:

*Gets her 'imaginary chainsaw' and starts 'spreading' the council.*

I know I should other religions, including Islam, since being a Catholic, but this is going too far. This is a Christian (and Catholic) holiday and we're offending Muslims and other religious people? Nonsense. Christmas is supposed to be about coming together as a whole family, NOT decorating Christmas trees, turkeys and meeting Father Christmas (Santa Claus). And most of the time, Muslims, Hindi, Buddhists and other religious people are not really bothered about the Christian holidays.

And I apologise to those sensitive religious people if I offended you.
