This is one case where I wouldn’t care if the references to Christmas were gone. Retailers don’t need to wear the name of a sacred holiday on them. I would be happier if they also didn’t do it by their own decision.
Please go away!
We actually don't need a Christian Taliban.
Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ, it is not His real birthday. It is not a Biblical holiday (holy day). So it is not a sacred holiday in that sense.
If retailers want to benefit from the event called Christmas (since one of it’s tenets is gift giving), they should stop trying to act like the reason they are advertising ISN’T Christmas.
That is all anyone wanted.
If they are trying to sell products based on Hanukah (sp) or even the made up communist Kwaanza celebration (barf), then they should mention those reasons, also.
