Off Topic The Christmas Thread

[AlRawdah]

Santa will be black , gay and have a Rainbow coloured tunic on , no beard because he’s transitioning and wants referring to as The Elf person .

The ****ing state of this.

Just to be clear I have no issue with any of these but the issue is changing a tradition because HR said so and are frightened of not including one or offending someone !

What Santa tradition has changed because HR said something like that?

I feel like we're venturing close to the words "one of my friends is actually...."

I was making a joke about Santa in a dept store potentially being selected to current recruitment trends .

I wasn’t asking about the ‘joke’
I was curious about what the issue was you mentioned when you said “the issue is changing a tradition because HR said so and are frightened of not including one or offending someone”

I just got a video of my grandson meeting Santa, he told him he'd been very impressed with how good he'd been this year and that's why he'd been invited to Lapland. Then he told him he was particularly impressed that he got 24 out of 25 in last week's school maths test and fully deserved the award he got from the Headmistress. Then he gave him a toy dog and said 'I hope you like it, even if it's not quite as cool as your dog Poppy'. He was absolutely blown away and I think I got something in my eye...

That’s lovely mate but he’s 21 now so….

Al rawdahs response is a bit ambiguous but I assumed he didn’t like my joke ? Maybe he was agreeing , sometimes on here you get very cryptic responses that are not simple English fir a dunce like me to comprehend .

I think you can rest assured he wasn't being cryptic.

I think he was torn one way or the other but eventually plumped for a thumbs down

Hey Rab, I've seen that episode.

And yet you didn’t respond to my very unambiguous question…

When my kids were young I loved the magic of Xmas, just not the same with grumpy teenagers. Any tips to get the magic back?
We are thinking about doing some volunteering work with the homeless or something on Xmas day to give us a purpose.

OLMs posts has given me some hope the magic will return when we hopefully get grand kids in 15 years….

As my kids are now 33 and 28, I’d completely forgotten how exciting Christmas is for kids, a grandchild brings it all back. It’s great.

Good luck to you if you do some volunteering.
