It's nice that there is a thriving bunch of Christmas-enthusiasts willing to chip in to Save Christmas, etc. I do wonder if they'd put their hands in their pockets as readily if the crowdfunder was instead to fund something like homelessness services, additional care worker support or food banks, but there you go I guess.

Surely all that cash should be refunded to the donors? I can’t remember now if the original call mentioned a “what if the council had a plan B?” but that would have allowed donors to give with that possibility in mind. Having a legacy fund isn’t a million miles off that purpose but, still, it’s not necessarily what donors were giving towards or aware of.
