Here is our collection of amusing words of warning on Christmas goods.
Some of the humor is the result of mis-translation, while other examples are
down to poor proof reading.

Funny Christmas Warnings
A Government website has warned parents that a visit to see Father Christmas could be 'terrifying'
for small children.
Pantomimes may also be too scary and traditional party games could have youngsters in tears.
The advice for teachers detailed on the website said, 'Younger children in particular have a wide range of fears. For very young children, Father Christmas can be terrifying. Make sure that fearful children are
near an exit. Trips to the pantomime can cause alarm, so the same planning applies.'
Margaret Morrisey, from the National Conference of PTAs, is reported to have said, 'It is so sad that we have become so politically correct that we are trying to remove the magic of Christmas.'
The advice has been taken off the website and the Department for Education said, 'This is not Government policy. It does not reflect our views.'
Footnote I could not find the above reference on the website. Could it be that common sense has forced them to remove the article?
