15 'Appropriate' Christmas

In 1976, Amanda, a 16-year-old girl from Surrey, wrote an article titled ‘A Black Day for Christmas’ for the Daily Mail. She did not like the black Santa doll sold in immigrant areas.

Barry Norman expressed similar anxiety in The Guardian, praying that Christmas would not be overwhelmed by “golliwogs”.

This Christmas I can only pray there won't be a proliferation of golliwogs instead [of teddy bears]...Wolverhampton will be populated exclusively by golliwogs, many of them illegal immigrants.

What is the ‘appripriate’ Christmas celebration?
