You're beating a dead horse, Liz. Let it go! |

I think the number of complaints they got with regard to the missing poppy has made them ultra sensitive about not upsetting anyone over Christmas decorations. |

I think now, we should let the poppies go and enjoy the fact that they have put the baubles up. |

'The human imagination breaks free at Christmas, urged on by the desire to see our world as it isn't'. |

Because, Liz, they forgot that the four-year centenary anniversary was approaching and so did not have a technical release ready. An apology was received with an assurance that a poppy logo will be uploaded next year:- |

If they are going to put up baubles for Christmas then why not mark Orthodox Christmas, Yom Kippur Hashana Eid ul Fitr and so on ? |

The baubles are non religious and can mark mid-winter festivities as well as Christmas. |

The vast majority of the millions of GR members never sign on so who knows what they think. |

The 'X' in Xmas replaces the word 'Christ'. |

Budgie Rustler - my default position is that, more than likely, there is a God. |

Christians have been using "X" since Anglo Saxon times and probably even longer. The word "christmas" is part Latin and part Greek anyway. |
