I went to Costco yesterday and the isles were stuffed with Christmas stuff. I probably am through going to stores until January. Enough already.
Mrs. Fields will now join other companies on my boycott list.
Well, this anti-Christmas business is starting early this year!
Yes it sure is. Maybe this is Mrs Fields way of seeing if people are going to get mad & not buy her cookies. If she gets flack about it she may change her mind asap
Mrs Fields doesn't get my business. I will bake my own cookies & I bet they will be better then hers.
Isn’t Debbie Fields Jewish??
Good one. LOL.
I’m banning Mrs. Fields from my stomach and bed.
First the “celebrities”, MSM, now this. Just Damn!
What’s left?
Well, I’m now offended.
How can Christmas be offensive?
I’m offended that Muslims celebrate Ramadan here in the US.
I hope their sales fall like a comet.
This is one time where I think NOT CONTACTING Mrs Fields would be a much better approach, folks.
Don’t contact to complain, and don’t contact to order anything.
We’re capitalists, the best on the planet. Lets play to our inherent strength.
It apparently takes a while for the business community, especially their marketing departments, to get the word that banning Christmas is not just bad, but very bad for business.
As it is, it now has the embarrassing character of a hamburger chain trying to capitalize on what was supposed to be the next hit movie, that instead turned into the turkey of the year.
“But why shouldn’t we do Jewish and Muslim-themed Christmas cards?”, asked the soon to be ex-VP of marketing.
Ms. Fields should say that she makes her cookies using the blood of jewish babies, and that will make everyone happy
“When Diane H. of Michigan called Mrs. Fields and asked to speak with a supervisor in customer service about why they banned Christmas, the supervisor told Diane that they do not offer anything with Merry Christmas because they don’t want to offend anyone.”
Something like 78% of Americans have claimed to be Christian. Were they really counting on the Muslim cookie revenue so much?
“When Diane H. of Michigan called Mrs. Fields and asked to speak with a supervisor in customer service about why they banned Christmas, the supervisor told Diane that they do not offer anything with Merry Christmas because they don’t want to offend anyone.”
Well, except 78% of the country. Good thinking.
That’s okay. I have never liked Mrs Fields cookies anyway. Too much fat and too many calories for what you get.
Maybe it is time to start raising a big whine about the commercialization of Christmas anyway. OBJECT to companies using the phrase “Merry Christmas” and using your religion to sell products. Even OBJECT to the use of your symbols and maybe even of the traditional red and green. Try turning it around on them because they have just been USING Christianity for a very long time. Who needs them and their mostly tainted Chinese smelly imports anyway? Cookies are without meaning unless someone you love bakes them with TLC. How about just ONE Christmas where everybody rejects commercialization?
“because they don’t want to offend anyone.”
Aren’t they offending those that want Christmas.
Seems they missed the basic objective of their goal.
Failure is failure.
I agree with you, just ignore them and don’t buy from them.
I received a catalog from Mrs. Fields in the mail last week and it looks like they dropped Christmas because they want to focus on large business orders that you can give out to clients, hence no mention of any specific holiday.

Secular socialists are at it again -
enough companies have reversed coarse on the “happy holidays” BS, you’d think that other companies would have learned.
And it’s NOT about “not offending anyone” - it’s about secularizing society. Always understand what your enemy is up to, because they can only win if we continue to let them obfuscate their goals.
Yeah, really....I thought....”Mrs. Fields”....are they STILL in business?
