Today is indeed #Poppymas

Ok I'll drop now.
Well, I'll try to.

Just so tired of "Poppymas" and the actual Armistice Day of Remembrance being fetishised by people pushing the same ethno-nationalist rhetoric that Europe lost so many lives fighting against

My parents (from the Silent Generation) dislike (non BL) poppy merch

@remembrancewatch.bsky.social does an excellent job of highlighting the crazier shores of Poppymas, but the normalisation of the “classier” versions like this has happened by stealth and never seems to get discussed much in the UK. It wasn’t a feature of my childhood there in the 70s & 80s so it’s…
We're marking Remembrance Day at the places in our care.

From the handmade poppies at Tredegar House and the knitted and crocheted poppy display at Kedleston, to the silhouettes in the Avenue of Remembrance at Wentworth Castle Gardens, we will remember them.

With Remembrance Day/Poppymas coming, periodic reminder that you don’t have to wear a poppy if the vibe doesn’t sit with you; and also you don’t have to wear a red one.

I’ve worn a white poppy for a number of years now.

Details of how to get one:

Uh oh, he’ll be blocking your chimney with mustard trousers and stuffing Benson and Hedges through the letterbox.

Father Poppymas doesn’t like ‘not the right amount of fuckin’ respect’ grinches.

My pet theory is that poppymas is becoming Britain's de facto national day because the nations have separate patron saints and in England St. George's day has never really caught on @remembrancewatch.bsky.social

Funny how when those who were there to witness the suffering and loss of war were still alive, Remembrance was about quiet, dignified and sincere remembrance of who and what was lost.
Now there are hardly any of them left, it's competitive performative Poppymas. Utterly grim.

All these people who rail against "virtue signalling" when people stand up against racism and hate yet plaster their world with poppies for a few weeks, often while voicing fascist ideas.

Most of this Poppymas stuff is bought from Amazon and Temu which doesn't benefit veterans or honour the fallen.

The commoditisation, politicisation, the over the top (ironic) 'displays' of Remembrance. "Poppymas"

The co-opting of the poppy etc by groups who would be defending the beaches not taking them...

These reasons are why, these days, I keep my own commemoration quite personal and muted.

Poppymas was ruined by two refuk goons in light blue ties laying a poppy wreath at the local remembrance parade. Ruined!

Don’t look now but all the British are wearing black on this very respectful Poppymas Morning.

Very well put. The phrase “Poppymas” nicely sums up this shift from remembrance to some sort of very odd “celebration”.

Have I missed ai slop poppymas?
Poppy displays all seem to have become, without exception, a mawkish, sanitised appropriation of what was once a stark reminder of the horror and futility of war - with genuine charitable intent - repurposed as disingenuous, nationalistic cultural fuel for the far right.

In a timeline currently crowded with Poppymas fetishism, this one is actually a nice piece.

FAO @remembrancewatch.bsky.social No-one wants to miss out on the Poppymas fun.
The Reform Mayor of Basildon has announced a war memorial for the town... one it has previously been lacking... presumably on account of Basildon being a "new town" that was built from scratch in er ... 1949.
