City officials in London have renamed the traditional "Christmas Market" to "Winter Market," aiming to be more inclusive of the city's expanding non-Christian community.
Reports indicate that vendors have been advised by the police to eliminate any mention of "Christmas."
A local resident expresses regret, “Our city used to be proudly Christian. Now we can't even mention 'Christmas' for fear of offending someone?”
A vendor chimes in, “We were instructed to replace all signs with ‘Winter Market.’ It feels like we’re wiping out the holiday that began it all.”
Viewed as either a step toward inclusivity or a case of overcorrection, London’s holiday season is shifting—one Christian identity at a time.
