"Where in the Bible does it talk about celebrating Christmas?"

1 Hesitations 2:3
"Thus saith the Lord who giveth wisdom, 'Anti, thou must GET A LIFE!"

Thanksgiving Day is not mentioned in the Bible either. What pagan celebration is that from?

Seriously, Christmas is a celebration of the fulfillment of the promise of God that He would give us a Redeemer that we can have peace with Him. The Psalms say, "Let everything that hath breath, Praise the Lord."

The gift giving and other stuff is unimportant to Christmas.

By the way, my wife and I celebrate both Thanksgiving and Christmas by inviting those of our church and service men who do not have family to celebrate with to our home to enjoy a hearty meal and a time of togetherness.

The point is not about whether you think Christmas is important. The point is that this company is caving into political correctness -- pressure from the left -- by doing this. Merry Christmas was just fine with them last year. The change and the hostile tone is the problem. You cannot deny the leftist motives behind all of the anti-Christmas campaigns.

Christians should make Christmas more meaningful. But let me point out the irony of Wal-Mart and other companies who do this offensive thing to us. They couldn't survive without Christmas. That "holiday" is when they make MOST of their profits.
