In looking through the ad flyers in last Sunday's newpaper, I was struck by the lack of the word Christmas in the ads. The word seems to have almost disappeared from view. Most of the flyers (K-Mart, Target, etc.) referred to "holiday trees," "holiday ornaments," "holiday gifts," etc. The word Christmas was no where to be seen. My(homeschooled) kids and I are doing our own little survey on print advertising from now to Christmas to see what percentage we find that actually use the word Christmas.

Sounds as though my shopping excursion is going to be frustrating.

I never realized how wide spread this political correctness has spread. How sad.

I'd be interested in the results of your survey. Could you post and/or freepmail me?
