Lame-o Xmas Slogan Watch

14:59 UK time, Friday, 15 December 2006

The Monitor never ceases in its mission to chart the highs and lows of popular culture.

So naturally the eye is drawn to the current trend for retailers to come up with lame-o Xmas slogans. Hence a new feature: Lame-o Xmas Slogan Watch.

Here are some the Monitor has spotted. You are free, though not obliged, to add any more you see, in the usual fashion (by using the "comments" button immediately below)

Dreaming of a tiramisu Christmas - Costa Coffee
Peace and latte to all men - Costa Coffee
Merry Cashmere - Gap
Peace, love and Gap
Thank Virgin it's Christmas
Don't Christmas shop for it, Argos it
Tis the Season to be gorgeous (Boots)

"Thank Virgin it's Christmas", is actually quite clever if you think about it. They did commit my most hated faux pas on an advert revcently though, advertising something as "the ultimate christmas gift". Fine, I'll buy one each for all my family and friends, and then they'll never get another Christmas present again.
