Christmas Banned by UK Red Cross?

Not exactly.

But, no Christmas Tree, no Nativity scene, no "Merry Christmas" greetings.

Here, from The Daily Mail is the story.  The "not exactly" part comes here:

British Red Cross leaders have, however, not extended the ban to their own profitable products. Items currently on sale include Christmas cards featuring angels and wise men and Advent calendars with nativity scenes.

The spokesman said: 'The Red Cross is trying to be inclusive and we recognise there are lots of people who want to buy Christmas cards which they know will benefit us.'

A hat tip to my friend Charlie Spika for forwarding me the link.

And a Merry Christmas to all.
