Santa's stamp upsets Church of England
New collection of Christmas stamps, with Santa, causes upset in Church of England.
They were expecting last year collection.
But there is something funny on new stamps.
Santa looks like he has stopped for a toilet break on one of this year's Christmas stamps.
Collection, on sale today, shows Santa sitting on top of a chimney.
Collection has upset the Church of England, which claims they contain no Christian message. There are snowmen, reindeer and a Christmas tree but no Three Wise Men, no manger and no baby Jesus.
Church spokesman thed the Mirror: "We regret the Royal Mail have decided against continuing last year's welcome return to Christian-themed designs."
Royal Mail said its stamps swapped between religious and non-religious themes each year.

Church of England whines about religious freedoms being squashed, and now it wants to force the government to use only holiday postage that's APPROVED by them? What's next? Will the Church of England overthrow the Queen and declare England as a theocracy again?
I'd be more offended by the fact that they are showing santa shitting down someone's chimney then I'd be about the lack of a Christian message.
