I've not gone to Macy's in a while. I'm so over mall shopping. I try to go to little clothing shops and support local small business. Not big corporations who care little for family values.

Thank you. I'll let Macy's know when they receive my cut-up credit card and the explanatory letter.

Why is Christmas singled out for exclusion?

Why is the Christian Cross unacceptable to LA?

Why is the name Jesus being edited out of our culture?


Because...

"This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

- Acts 4



"...there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

I'm so tired of this PC garbage. I didn't like Macy's before and I like them even less now.

[SoDak]

I've never been to a Macy's. Do they have a hardware department?

[mysto]

Christmas is a CHRISTIAN holiday. Always has been, always will be. The atheists and the ACLU can try to separate church and state, but they'll never take away the true reason why there is a Christmas from those of us who truly believe.

[NewLand]

I wonder if they will accept my substitute of this Christian item which mentions God...

With this secular substitute that doesn't mention God...

Two can play this game...

[Cobra64]

This is beyond belief! F these bastards with a boycott. I'm getting really fed up with these weasles attempting to run a business. We have American Flags and our 40' pine trees decorated with lights and balls. Friggin-flippin Macy is tearing down our Heritage. Makes me sick! I hope their stock tanks. The bastards deserve it. When is this PC bull-sh!t going to stop? /rant

(need a deep breath and breath easily before my heart and head explode).

[Ptarmigan]

I don't shop Macy's and other department stores. They are a rip-off.

[still_learning]

So what does Macy's Santa say?

Ho! Ho! Ho! . . . Merry Winter Holiday!!!!

[Peace will be here soon]

""the group's chairman, Manuel Zamorano, in a statement. "What's the holiday all about, anyway? ""

I think more people need to seriously ask themselves this question.

It seem that the Anti-Christ forces are on full attack on all fronts and winning.

Macy's is generally a waste. They stock clothing no one would wear. Some time ago that wasn't the case. The after-Christmas sale was great. You literally couldn't run through even a hundred dollars everything was double-discounted, and more. And it was worth buying. They closed out on the old Grand Slam Performance polo shirts that you can't even find anymore. But in recent years, the selection has been horrible, flimsy overpriced shirts, ugly suits, and so on.

[sevry]

I should add that the specialty stores tend to have the quality, even if it's a bit pricey. Even Mervyn's has some good, serviceable items in their Cambridge Classic shirts and 'work-out' t's. But generally an Eddie Bauer, or other specialty will probably have the higher quality. Port Authority Outdoors windbreakers and jackets are nice, and which you'll find as branded promotional gifts at certain casinos. Land's End jackets can be nice, as well, even if the local Sears doesn't ever have anything from Land's End in stock. Both of the latter would make nice Christmas gifts.

I noticed last year that our local mall, where Macy's bought out the large dept. store, had very sparse Christmas decorations and had stopped the Christmas music during the shopping season. I mentioned it to an employee and they encouraged me to call the store and complain. Our local town isn't much better, decorations there have been cut to a minimum as well.

Next the PC police will be demanding that NBC "loop" over the voice of Jimmy Stewart when they show "It's A Wonderful Life". As he runs through the streets of
Bedford Falls, an impersonator inserts, "Happy Holidays,
movie house! Season's greetings, Emporium! Happy Holidays,
you wonderful ol' building and loan!"
Then clever editing wipes out the Christmas tree in
the Bailey home. You watch.

[raccoonradio]

By "not offending" some who are not Christian or are maybe atheists, they ARE offending millions of Christians. The gift giving stems from the Three Wise Men, IIRC (gold,
frankincense and myrrh), not from Santy Claus. Yes, folks,
the very tradition of gift-giving--the whole notion that
made the holiday "over-commercialized" to begin with--
came from the story of Jesus! How soon they forget.

For those who try to wipe "Christmas" out, like the teachers and school officials who won't allow
religious Christmas carols: Are you willing to go to
work on Dec. 25? "What, you're taking the day off--
how dare you!" C'mon, you don't like the religious
aspects of the holiday so why not practice what you
preach (if you'll pardon the expression, Principals and
Teachers)
and go to work on Dec. 25? Sit in your class and
correct papers. We won't mind.

[MattAMiller]

I don't see why being offended by "happy holidays" is any less thin skinned and irrational than being offended by "merry Christmas." There is another gift giving holiday at pretty much the same time it would probably be a bit presumptious to assume all their customers celebrate one and not the other.

Around last Christmas, whenever I went to the base to shop (I'm retired) I noticed a lot of people saying "Merry Christmas" with an attitude, like, "I'm saying Merry Christmas, and if you want to make trouble about it, bring it on."

Of course, I was glad to return their "Merry Christmas," but I was also happy to see so many people so emphatic about it.
