It makes my brain hurt that people actually fall for this nonsense.

It might seem silly and meaningless, but the hidden undertone here is just more Islamophobia.

That somehow Muslims are “offended” by Christmas.

Please don’t let anyone you know in real life get away with believing it!🙏🏼

I’m sure we’ll have to repeat it multiple times in the coming months, but here goes:

🎄No one is banning Christmas

🎄 No one is offended by Christmas

And if you think Tesco (or anyone else) is replacing the word Christmas - please pop into your nearest store for a dose of reality!👍🏼🎄

We all know we’ve entered the “they’re banning Christmas” season now poppy rage is over on social media.

But I didn’t expect actual newspapers would take the confected outrage by anonymous far-Right Twitter accounts and turn them into “news” stories!

But here we are in 2025🤷🏼‍♀️

The Daily Mail of course went for the full on ‘woke’ attack line while claiming that ALL of the Tesco Christmas trees had been renamed “evergreen trees”
🙄

Also by this point, Tesco had had to come out and explain what was glaringly obvious to anyone with more than 2 brain cells.

It was a description of the type of tree in the box as they had a range.

Calling them all “Christmas Tree” would have been a bit silly!

So, @telegraph.co.uk was off a strong start on the nonsense scale by having to admit the tree was being sold in their Christmas range while in the very next line saying it was being sold with “no reference to Christmas”!🙄

The person who’s reported on this the most thoroughly is @davidbix.bsky.social, and this is a good place to start:

Yep, why not score a goal from your own half in the 98th minute?
