Yes, good plan.
Pre-emptive strikes by the retailers: Christmas music playing and Christmas decorations have been up from around the first of November!
Thanksgiving just went under the bus.
Brilliant!!
I love it!
Can anyone post a refresher “List” of the stores that REJECTED Christmas last year, or two?
I realize “pay-backs” is a childish notion, but Christmas always brings out the Child in me :)
Basically the same here.
CHRIST is our CHRISTmas celebration only.
Our household rule of thumb:
Any catalogue that comes to the house regarding HOLIDAY sales
gets unopened and dumped in the garbage. This applies to email,
too.
Any shop displaying HOLIDAY or WINTER sales and special signs;
we don’t go there.
Any place that can’t say, “Merry Christmas” because if might offend
someone; we don’t go there.
Any card we receive that is not CHRIST-related gets put in the back of the large card holder. (I appreciate all who remember us at Christmas, but our
house is a celebration of Christ’s birth on earth.)
I’ve noticed in recent years that it is increasingly hard to find Christmas cards that make any reference to Christ or Christianity. There are, however, plenty of reindeer, snowy vistas, and season’s greetings.
Yesterday, our local Ingles grocery store had a rack of Christmas cards of which more than half had, in fact, a religious motif, and I snapped them up.
I agree with the idea of selectively shopping in those stores which recognize Christmas for what it truly is.
Good idea. Yeah, I have been boycotting for well over 25 years now and will continue as much as humanly possible.
One wonders whether Circuit City celebrated Christmas, or “Holiday.”
