A major department store has silently removed the word 'Christmas' from its iconic gift catalogue - and workers are blaming 'woke politics' for the change.

For the first time ever, department store Neiman Marcus has rebranded its 98-year-old 'Christmas Book' gift catalogue, which has now been called a 'Holiday Book'.

Workers for the retailer have blamed 'woke politics' for the change to the holiday season staple.

The retailer had previously stated, following the Covid-19 Pandemic, that the 'Christmas Book is tradition' and something for shoppers to look forward.

Kentucky state senator Johnnie Turner, 76, dies in freak lawnmower accident

Kentucky State Senator Johnnie Turner has died a month after driving a ride-on lawnmower into the deep end of a dry swimming pool.

Turner, 76, was gravely injured in the accident on September 15 outside his home in rural Baxter, Kentucky, and his family said this week he passed after a 'hard fought battle' with his injuries.

Further details of the horror accident have not been shared.

Tributes have poured in for the lawmaker, who was first elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1998 before becoming a member of the state senate in 2020.

And because his death comes so close to election day, Turner's name will appear alone on the ballot without a single challenger, raising the prospect a special election will be needed if he is posthumously elected.
