This Grinch hates......

[Sundae]

None of the above
But I must admit one of my perennial niggles is more niggly at Christmas. Pointless Americanisms.

I resent the Coca-Cola "Holidays are coming" advert. No. A holiday is what you go on in the summer, Christmas is not a holiday in this country. Make a different advert according to my culture. Especially given Coca-Cola is a summer drink anyway - who has extra room in their fridge once the turkey and cheeseboard are in there...?

Candy canes are not part of our tradition. We don't even use the word candy. Stop it.

Father Christmas not Santa Claus. The one acceptable use is Secret Santa, as you can't get the pleasing alliteration otherwise.

Isn't that what marketing folks are paid to do? Like Coca-cola people sit around a table and say "Gee, I'd love to target marketing to other countries, but we just can't afford it"?

Give them Father Christmas, damn you. Do it!

Gee, I thought we drove on the right side of the road,
and the Brits drove on the left.

Do we need to change over to be PC ?

When in Rome...

Adjust. Adapt. Change.

It's not a difficult concept. Us Merkins think we have everything right. Not by a long shot.
