If they want my money (they do 20% or MORE at THIS time of the year) they'd better say MERRY CHRISTMAS or Happy Hanukkah.

A list of companies banning Christmas and their responses can be found at http://www.afa.net

I'll check it out.

I sent a donation to AFA yesterday. They are doing wonderful work. They are nearly 3 million strong and growing. Lets get behind them. They truely represent the AMERICAN FAMILY as our founding fathers had intended.

Let's see....Sears....that'd be the ones who are behind the best show on TV, right? Extreme Home Makeover, btw, I'm pretty sure it was the lovely Mrs. Laura Bush appearing on next week's episode(?)

....and didn't they do something corporately...to support the serving soldiers awhile ago?

I know who's getting my Christmas $$.

Their attempts at political correctness have proven to backfire.

I wish as much attention was focused on the back office dealings at corporate America as the store displays and greeting they are instructed to use with customers.

The controversy for me is not the lack of celebrating Christmas at these retailers (not just Sears), it is that they formerly embraced it and use PC word substitution to shelter the "change". When a company like Target includes Gay Pride Month and the Communist International Womens' Day on their diversity calendar, it is clear that they embrace a different culture at the exclusion of mine.

Here a capture of Sears' current website:

Nice to see retailers responding to customer demand!

Good work to all of those involved in reversing this PC nonsense. My boycott of Sears may be ending, but I will be sure to tell them why.

If this trend keeps up, the humanist-socialist-leftwing idiots will only have the gov't institutions under their control. And that is the next battle.

This issue has me torn. On one hand I oppose the commercialization of Christmas. On the other hand I oppose ignoring Christ,the reason for the season.
What to do???
P.S. Happy Hannukah!!

Since Kmart owns Sears now, I looked at their web page. They have the "Martha Stewart Christmas Shop" up and running.

Politically correct push-back. I love it! When PC becomes a serious liability, the corporate world will drop it like a hot potato.

This sort of thing should be commended. Let Sears know at:

How hard is it for a large retailer to figure out that Christmas is December 25th, and that Hannukah frequently falls on the same date. There is plenty of room for them to have tasteful signs offering recognition of these important holidays. Heck, hang up a couple of Kwanzaa banners, too. Don't want to miss picking their pockets either.

Tis the season....

There are exceptions to the liberal atheist attitude.

In Hawaii last week I saw a large Crech scene in front of a government social center.

Imagine that.
