Greggs - flaky, and not just the pastry!
"You do sometimes wonder about people's sanity, don't you? Who on earth would think it appropriate to replace the baby Jesus in a nativity scene with a sausage roll? And yet, that is what has happened on Gregg's advent calendar. Now, an advent calendar doesn't just suddenly appear out of the blue - it must have been in preparation for weeks, months probably, and must have been seen and checked by many people. So this was not simply a mental aberration by one person - more a case of corporate stupidity. And as has been pointed out, the basic sacrilege is compounded by the fact that it is a sausage roll - pork, which is an unclean meat for Jews."

Do I sometimes wonder about people's sanity ? no, I don't ; I wonder about our sanity all the time !
And, as far as I know, our Jewish brethern do not celebrate Christmas.
