Controversial call for Father Christmas to be renamed ‘Person Christmas’


And their source for this extraordinary claim, which has caused no end of fury and “it’s PC gone mad” refrains on social media?

According to Unilad, there have also been calls for the magical figure to be renamed ‘Person Christmas’

Problems occasionally arise in society when accepted norms are challenged and people feel their way of life is being threatened. Unfortunately, gender-fluidity falls into the ‘threatening’ category for a lot a people – turns out – there are some who see the idea of Father Christmas being renamed to something more gender fluid like ‘Person Christmas’, as a real threat to their way of life.
