Who is having turkey for Christmas dinner and why do some people get really upset when I write Merry Xmas in their cards?

WE ARE HAVING TURKEY AND GAMMON (THE KIDS DON'T LIKE TURKEY). WE ARE ALSO HAVING CHIPOLATAS WRAPPED IN BACON, STUFFING, BREAD SAUCE AND ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
I DON'T MIND IF PEOPLE WRITE 'HAPPY XMAS'. AS SOMEONE WHO WRITES ABOUT EIGHTY CARDS EVERY YEAR, BY THE TIME I GET TO NUMBER 60, I AM DOING WHATEVER I CAN TO SHORTEN THE MESSAGE!

I suppose some people find 'Xmas' offensive for religious reasons - personally I just think 'I see, I'm that important to them that they couldn't write four extra letters...'

I think it is lazy, rude, disrespectful, sexist, homophobic and racist to write 'Merry Xmas' in cards.
Really

I am like you oldspice having so many cards to write. By the last few I am scribbling my name. Maybe we should start writing them in January then by Christmas we will be sorted.

With the exception of 'All Hallow's Eve' (Halloween), which remains a pagan festival. The timing of Easter, though a Christian festival, is still determined by pagan tradition, i.e. the phase of the moon between March 21st and April 18th.

That must have been some turd the following day Lemoneye!
Atkins-type Christmas dinner?

That's not a nice thought.....
A roast dinner doesnt seem the same without the roasties and the yorkshires.

My mam always gave us yorkshire puds on our Xmas dinner, but since leaving home I have never come across anyone else who has yorkshires on Xmas dinner. Even going out for Xmas lunch and paying ridiculous prices for a dinner gave me no yorkshires.
So who here had yorkshires on their xmas dinner?

Oh my gosh, what I meant was I ate plenty of Turkey this Christmas!
I did not have Yorkshire Pudds with my Christmas dinner at home but when I went to a local pub for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago, I had Turkey and they served Yorkshire pudd with it. It's a carvery and they serve Yorkshire pudd with all the meats.
