I just informed Land's End that I will not be shopping for Christmas gifts from their company since they don't recognize the day.

I got their catalog yesterday. Just sent them an email stating that I don't buy "holiday" gifts, I buy Christmas gifts. I also asked them not to send me any more catalogs.

And, by the way, they sell ugly shoes.

"As a result, we have adopted the ‘holiday’ terminology as a way to comply with one of the basic freedoms granted to all Americans: freedom of religion."

What on earth does that mean? A private company is not banned from using the word "Christmas" or even to use the greeting "Merry Christmas" by the Constitution. That has to be one of the most tortured semantic/linguistic watusis of sophistry I have yet seen on this controversy.

They can have separate "Winter" and "Christmas" catalogs or even different sections in the same catalog. They could even have a "Winter/Christmas" catalog. Good grief! This is getting ridiculous. And howlingly absurd!
