Good thing you didn’t say anything. You might have been arrested for offending someone. /s
Irony is using Xmas in the title of this whine.
What’s wrong with not having Santa? He’s a commercial symbol not a Christian symbol, and anyway they probably have a live “Santa” in the store.

I understand exactly what you are saying. I personally will not shop at places that deny Christmas. However, I also realize that Christmas is about Jesus and try not to get to caught up in the commercialization aspect.
This morning I went to Lord & Taylor where they have the most beautiful Christmas window display! Each one reads, “The Sights...Sounds...Flavors, etc. of Christmas” represented by old-fashioned scenes. The store is also very festively decorated—it put me in quite the Christmas mood! I made a point of complimenting the lady greeter on their Christmas spirit saying I would be returning soon for my shopping.
