None of the above
But I must admit one of my perennial niggles is more niggly at Christmas. Pointless Americanisms.

I resent the Coca-Cola "Holidays are coming" advert. No. A holiday is what you go on in the summer, Christmas is not a holiday in this country. Make a different advert according to my culture. Especially given Coca-Cola is a summer drink anyway - who has extra room in their fridge once the turkey and cheeseboard are in there...?

Candy canes are not part of our tradition. We don't even use the word candy. Stop it.

Father Christmas not Santa Claus. The one acceptable use is Secret Santa, as you can't get the pleasing alliteration otherwise.
