A major department store has silently removed the word 'Christmas' from its iconic gift catalogue - and workers are blaming 'woke politics' for the change.
For the first time ever, department store Neiman Marcus has rebranded its 98-year-old 'Christmas Book' gift catalogue, which has now been called a 'Holiday Book'.
Workers for the retailer have blamed 'woke politics' for the change to the holiday season staple.
The retailer had previously stated, following the Covid-19 Pandemic, that the 'Christmas Book is tradition' and something for shoppers to look forward.
Christmas is a time of celebration and our Christmas Book is about celebrating. It's part our legacy and if you look back at our history, our founders and our brand, we've always been very strong about belonging and inclusion,' chief marketing officer of Neiman Marcus, Daz McColl, told Forbes in 2021.
He added: 'The title of our book is not exclusionary in any way. It's part of our tradition.'
However, this year, attitudes toward the tradition of the catalogue appear to have changed.
A spokesperson for the retailer told The Dallas Morning News: 'In the spirit of inclusivity as it welcomes customers of all backgrounds, religions and traditions to celebrate the season.'
Seasoned employees within the retailers Dallas headquarters, amid the restructuring of the brand, have expressed to the New York Post that the 117-year-old history of Neiman Marcus is being wiped out with the breaking of a tradition that's been going since almost 20 years into their launch.

It’s ok. I never shop there anyway.

A historic Texas store. Now run by a Belgian homo who lives in New York with HIS husband and two children he somehow obtained.
I hope Neiman Marcus implodes.
And exactly what season would that be? Christmas.
Wankers.
Sounds like Needless Markup has stepped on their you-know-what, just like Anheuser-Busch.
Never heard of them, but may they cease to exist.
They made a business decision about how to sell their merchandise.
Let the market decide. {snicker}
I will not buy from this merchant.
Buying from the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog is a tradition. So much for tradition.
Woke ruins everything. Expect an apology from NM stating they didn’t realize removing Christmas from their catalog would upset anyone and they didn’t mean any harm.
I’ve never bought a thing from them. I wouldn’t even know where I have to go to find their store. It’s going to remain that way. Atheist sh*tbirds should not be exploiting and cleaning up on Christmas.
Well, bye.
“A historic Texas store.”
There’s a great book about Neiman Marcus entitled “In Search of Excellence”, written by president at the time, IIRC.
One story is about a young man coming in to interview for a job. At some point the president asked the young man if he had any questions. The man said yes. “If I get a position here, is there any reason I couldn’t be president of the company in 15 years?”
The president wrote, “I hired him on the spot.”

I thought they went out of business decades ago. Who knew? They can have their going out of business winter extravaganza
