That's the crux of it. We need to want to make adjustments. We need to unshackle ourselves from this whole 'it's supposed to be hard' cycle. We need to value and champion disabled PGRs and think creatively and inclusively about adjustments. It's not hard, I promise. But is is vital.

The Victorians had some weird taste in Christmas cards, putting that aside
Not ‘ A Happy Christmas’ in sight.
Plus get a load of this 1950s Christmas card.
What NO ‘Happy Christmas’ ?
In the 1980s no ‘Christmas’ on the selection box.
Nothing unusual.
No faux outrage then.
