Employees at the Department of Energy and Climate Change have received advice on keeping their festive greetings ‘politically correct’

What is happening to our traditions?  Is saying ‘Happy Holidays’ going to replace ‘Merry Christmas’?  Will Christmas be cancelled in years to come?  Is all this political correctness “tinsel-wrapped idiocy”?
