Not Quite A Merry Christmas

No Christmas lights in England:

A MOTHER was told to remove her Christmas lights – in case they offended non-Christian neighbours.

Dorothy Glenn decorates her home with illuminations every year, including a giant tree and a 4ft Santa.

But this year she was stunned when a housing association worker called at her house and told her that the decorations she was displaying might be offending her neighbours...in South Shields, Tyneside: “I put the lights up in the first week of November and then recently a uniformed housing worker was outside and it looked like he was counting my decorations. “When I went outside he said that the lights were ‘offensive to the community.’

“If I was offending anyone I could understand why he was telling me, but nobody has complained.

“My neighbours are Bengali and Chinese and I know that they love the lights. The children will always point them out when they walk past.”
