The very deliberate act of social engineering that is the deChristianization of the West is plain to see during our most prominent festivals. Over many decades Easter has largely been reduced to children pining for chocolate eggs, while Christmas has become a light show that culminates in vulgar displays of expensive gifts having their wrapping paper torn away in animalistic fashion.
Attempts to remove Christ from both festivals dates back many years. References to Easter have increasingly been airbrushed from the obligatory eggs, which have been rebranded 'chocolate eggs' or 'gesture eggs'. In 2017 the National Trust renamed its Easter Egg Trail as the 'Great British Egg Hunt'.
The name Christmas has been under attack for much longer, for obvious reasons - it contains the Lord's name. The oldest and most commonly airbrushed alternative is Xmas, but there are plenty of others such as Crimbo, Yuletide, Noël, the festive season, the generic 'holidays' and who can forget Birmingham City Council's infamous rebrand - 'Winterval'.
The war on Christianity by corporate quasi-communistic elements continues this year with an early example being a viral image of a packaged decorative tree in Tesco. However, there is no reference to Christmas on the packaging as it has now been rebranded an 'Evergreen Tree'. To Karl's surprise, when he visited a Tesco store last week he found a further five examples of decorative trees with the reference to Christmas replaced. His photos from that visit are featured in this week's meme. Five of the six products are under Tesco's own brand, while the sixth is from a London-based company called Bayswood. Did they also have to remove the word Christmas in order to get their product stocked in Tesco?
Corporate interests see Christmas as a cash cow that can be repackaged as a non-religious festival that appeals to everyone and therefore maximises their profits. University educated Marxists would prefer the religious aspect to be removed and rebranded for 'inclusivity' purposes, while globalists require this troublesome custom to be stamped out altogether along with every other localised custom that fosters regional, cultural or national identity.
Last week's pansexual Anne Frank meme generated 20 comments and six shares on Facebook.
This current edition of Woke Wednesday will be the last of 2025, but the feature will return in the new year.
