If they don’t say Merry Christmas I ask for my money back and give them back their stuff.
If someone wants to wish another a happy Hanukkah, they can just say that without watering down Christmas.
Malls are dying. Online shopping is increasing. To be honest, I am not a mall type gal. I don’t think people are sick of Christmas... one thing I have noticed in my neighborhood and town (even in the liberal area that I live in) is the return of home decorations. During the 8 years of Obama... it got to the point that a wreath and perhaps a string of lights was considered “fancy”. Now.. the homes seem more decorated.. and yes.. saw several manger decorations yesterday.
indoor malls are dying everywhere. The outdoor malls are thriving.
Roaming bands of teen thugs make the malls a place to avoid, and muslim barkers selling crap in the middle doesn’t help either.
We do our shopping online too, but first, I make the rounds of our local small businesses to buy as much as I can from them. Then I go online to buy the things that I can’t get there and some of the more generic or technical items that the small stores don’t stock. If we don’t support our local stores they will be gone.
I rarely go to the mall, but I did once this season and it was packed.
Perfect! That’s what this season of peace and joy is all about!
I haven't contributed to the commercialization of Christmas for the past few years.
There were tv commercials way back in August. Earlier every year.
