Weirdad had to do cull and search the web site for cursory references to the meaning of the Christmas holiday on the web site, whereas Fisher-Price has direct and straightforward explanations for the other two Holidays. There is not a "Traditions and Meanings" explanation for Christmas on the holiday web site of Fisher-Price like there is for Kwaanza and Hanukkah. Fisher-Price has chosen to ignore a straight-forward explanation of what Christmas really is all about.
I believe an appropriate response is to tell Fisher-Price in a very polite manner Christians deserve better, especially since Christians spend lots of their money on their product.
I agree that it is not a needless Freep, and I agree completely with your statement that "an appropriate response is to tell Fisher-Price in a very polite manner Christians deserve better, especially since Christians spend lots of their money on their product."
By the way, I did not cull anything from their site on my reply. It's one frame intact. It was longer that the equivalent "Kwaanza" and Hanukkah pages on their site. It would not surprise me if their site is less the result of political correctness and more the result of lukewarm judgement. I would not be surprised to find that (1) they assumed that their readers already knew about Christmas, which is much more widely a tradition than the others, (2) since there are many different denominations in Christianity, they were afraid to offend any particular one, so remained silent on an explanation of the holiday, (3) they were cognizant of the fact that the Christmas story is MUCH longer and more complex than either "Kwaanza" and Hanukkah, and they felt that an over-simplification would be worse than the silent treatment, so they focused on their suggestions (which actually made a longer page than the others), and assumed the reader already understood Christmas. If such things happened, then it really would be best to start with your suggestioin, "an appropriate response is to tell Fisher-Price in a very polite manner Christians deserve better, especially since Christians spend lots of their money on their product."
