I emailed the following to those stores that ignored Christmas..
Around 85% of Americans consider themselves Christians and over 90% of Americans celebrate CHRISTMAS.
I, like many millions of others, AM OFFENDED by your exclusion of Christmas from your businesses.
It is gross hypocrisy to expect to cash in on Christmas shoppers largess while you are actively denying the festival in your stores.
I, personally, am making a point of spending MY Christmas shopping budget where Christmas is celebrated. There will be nothing from your establishments under the Christmas tree in my house, and none of my money in your cash registers.
Bah Humbug to you. Retailers are hurting this year, I hope you hurt more than most.
Given your reliance on the Christmas season sales to meet your annual revenue goals maybe you won’t even be here NEXT Christmas, and you will have only yourselves to blame.
Yes, they need to hear from us!
And as you said, we are OFFENDED. They worry about “offending” the people who don’t even celebrate Christmas, but not about us.
It might be a good idea to contact the people who run the malls, as well.
