My response to this....BOYCOTT TARGET! I would hope that Target was simply negligent in checking out the stock but a temporary boycott may make them and other retailers more aware in the future.
Target has a history...I well remember the “gather round trees” of one year, they didn’t want to use the word Christmas. Then the denial of Salvation Army bell ringers, the sound of which says Christmas, plus the obvoius religious relevance of the word Salvation at Christmas time. Pooh on Target, they aren’t even competitive on the majority of items, but even if they were I’d pay more to be allowed to have my traditions!
