There's a certain C word we probably can't use without being sued.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

In this world of political correctness we live in, people are being sued everyday for simple, ridiculous things. Only last weekend when the car park at work froze over, I found my boss putting signs up saying "Warning: Ice is slippy", which apparantly had to be done so nobody could sue us if they slipped on the ice.

It is because of this we cannot say the dreaded C-word in such a public way. Just look at the way people are now being banned from putting certain decorations up for fear of offending non-Christians. Well, I'm sure there's a non-Christian sat out there reading this who would fume if I mentioned the dreaded C-world, because the idea that a religion they don't follow celebrates the birth of baby Jesus annually must really be torture for them. In fact, I don't know why we're still allowed to celebrate it. In fact, why don't we get rid of New Year celebrations as well, so as to avoid offending the die-hard Chinese out there? Why don't we just number the days of the year and think about them that way in case some Australian gets offended that we suggest it's cold in December here?

That is why I approve of the name "Winterval" that was suggested during a chat last night. So people, the entire staff of PKMN.NET wish you all a very, very happy Winterval, whoever you're spending it with and whatever you choose to do. Eat until you're full and then eat some more, get horrendously drunk (or hyper on Coke if you're underage) but above all, enjoy yourself and try to remember what Winterval is about.

Oh you know what. Sod it.

Merry Christmas everyone!
