Only if you let it bother you, I don't care what Tesco does or says, as long as it has food on the shelves when I go shopping there. Too many other proper worries in life to get stressed over supermarket silliness.
Tiresome in my view. Not worth worrying about. Seems to me there is far too much offence being taken at silly nonsense these days. I've been as guilty as anyone in the past. Getting all upset about a few flags (for example) But really, life is too short. Enjoy the good, laugh at or ignore the silly. Don't know about you guys, but I have had my fill of stress here in the last couple of weeks. I'm chilled now about life in general
It is the thin end of the wedge. When your nation's largest supermarket downplays Christmas, you know you are in trouble. There are too many people rolling over and accepting this sort of desecration. It is no wonder we are imploding. Out here in Belgium they are ramping up their Christmas celebrations, as it should be.
Sorry @Smudger603 but what you've heard is not correct. Tesco are selling one type of artificial tree which they have labelled as an 'Evergreen tree'. The Supermarket is also continuing to sell several other types of tree, which are still labelled 'Christmas tree'. However, the right wing press are distorting the facts, giving the impression that Tesco no longer sells any trees with the label 'Christmas tree'. That is simply not true. A little online research has uncovered the facts. Tesco is offering a range of products to a wide variety of customers. There are many kinds of non-Christian folk who may still wish to celebrate a mid-Winter festival, even one with Christian sentiments. Humanists or agnostic people for example, as well as some people of other faiths. It's possible that some of them might prefer to buy a tree without the word 'Christmas' on the packaging. So one Tesco product (among a whole range, all of which are still labelled Christmas tree) caters for their wish. The hysteria being whipped up about Tesco cancelling Christmas, and furious shoppers boycotting the store, is being driven by the usual suspects. GB News. The Daily Mail. The Express. And various social media sources.
It's coming. In twenty years' time, Christmas will be a thing of the past. Anyone caught celebrating will face dire consequences. That's the future, unless something radical occurs.
That may be. But this 'Woke Tesco cancels Christmas' story has nothing to do with it. I'm not saying anyone has posted anything in bad faith. But what Smudger heard, basically stems from fake news - fabricated to whip up anger and hate towards non-Christians.
