I was watching QVC over the weekend. There was a vendor who was talking about giving a gift "On Holiday Morning." It sort of makes me depressed that Christmas has become a word to be avoided. I know they want to be "all inclusive" for all people. But it still makes me sad.
@mormel20 I didn't see it, but what you describe had nothing to do with "inclusion," and everything to do with an apparently verboten word: Christmas.
Many years ago, a vendor was displaying magnet-backed "buttons" which flashed in the colors red and green. In describing them, she remarked that they'd be "great for [awkward pause] holiday!" The pause was very telling. The word "Christmas" [gasp!] was clearly not to be used. How ridiculous.The holiday season is one thing, but no one celebrates "holiday" morning, and no one is donning a Santa sweater "for holiday."
So instead of being sad, laugh, because these odd attempts to avoid that word which must not be spoken are, indeed nothing short of hilarious.
What worries you masters you.
