Neiman Marcus has quietly removed the word “Christmas” from its iconic, 98-year-old annual gift catalog – and some company insiders gripe that the stealthy switch smacks of woke politics, The Post has learned.
The swanky retailer didn’t specifically discuss the pivot in a press release last week.
But for the first time ever, it called the glossy catalog — long known for its extravagant gifts, from last year’s $975,000 electric Cadillac to his-and-her Egyptian mummy cases in 1971 — the “Holiday Book” instead of the “Christmas Book.” The name change has raised hackles inside the luxury chain’s Dallas headquarters, where veteran employees have chafed under CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck, whose restructurings and layoffs they fear are wiping out the last vestiges of the 117-year-old retailer’s institutional history.

“Needless Markup”
How much do retailers make between Thanksgiving and December 25? One-third of their year’s take?
Without Christmas, a lot of them wouldn’t survive. This anti-Christmas thing may end up being very bad for them...
I’ll make sure never to shop at Neiman Marcus again. I won’t give my good money to people that hate me
They still seem to use Christmas Book on their website

I’m sending mine back no matter how much money I lose on it.
War on Christmas? WHAT war on Christmas? It’s just a right-wing conspiracy theory.
Whew. These guys are going to feel the pain this year.
I know an upper income young family who plan to not have Santa Clause be a big part of their children’s Christmas. They have two kids under 3. They say their friends are planning the same. They’re putting the focus on. We’ll see how it goes but this group is also anti Disney. These retailers may bring about their own demise.
And Trump had better resurrect one common focus of his prior elections, i.e , “We say ‘Merry Christmas’”. Maybe he’s mentioned it recently, but I haven’t heard it. It was hugely popular. It’s important to people even if they aren’t Christians; they like the tradition.

does anyone else remember getting the Sears Christmas catalog in the mail back in the 70s and immediately turning to the toys section?
As I say to my, now graying, children.... “Look! A real car!”
We surrender to this war decades ago, this is just mopping up the residue.
They got an email from me about cutting up my Neiman’s card.
Neman Marcus, that Texas icon is run by a Belgian faggot who lives in NYC with his husband and two obtained kids.
The hell with that place.
I hope so.
