"That, of course, is the problem...Christmas is NOT a generic holiday. They can market to any group they want, but if they're going to attempt to redefine a Christian holiday as a generic one they should not be surprised if some Christians find that offensive."

They're not doing that.

The only way you could think that is if you want to be offended.

"They're not doing that. "


Just had a friend go to Wally-mart. The cashier said, "Happy holidays". He asked her if she can say, "Merry Christmas", and she said they were instructed to never say that.

So, China-Mart wants our money for Christmas items, but they want no part of Christmas??

Yes they are.

The walmart search engine has "specific" holidays (Hanukkah and Kwanzaa==even Ramadan gets specific answers).

But Christmas is in their "generic" category. To get to what you want to see you firsthave to pass through their Reeducation Page -- Holiday--then you can actually get to what you want.
