Everything about this take is depressing
1) the sneering dismissiveness with which Morgan talks about Christmas. I can understand that this probably doesn’t apply to him but for many it’s the main point in the year when they see those whom they love; when the whole family is back https://twitter.com/gmb/status/1328957510762500096
2) It might be that it’s not possible this year. If so, even someone as soulless as Piers Morgan must appreciate the enormous pain that this will cause people, most especially parents whose children now live far away from them. Sneering about “gorging on turkeys” is vile.
3) Morgan engaging in performative interfaith religion-baiting, pretending that this country has had some year zero moment where its history and culture has been obliterated. Christmas just is is bigger than all of the other religious festivals put together (including Easter 😢).
3b) Christmas is also (😢) not really primarily a religious festival, although that plays a part. It’s the single biggest event of the year and for most is entirely secular apart from maybe Carols from Kings. Morgan stirring this pot is borderline race-baity. Just stop.
(Oh, and there will be many Carols from St Bart’s this year too! Tune in for those if you fancy some ancient beauty and wonderful music)
