I agree with you....let's make it happen with a nice email from us.
At first, I thought this was an urban legend, but I checked the link, and it's up at the Catholic League's website, all right.
So, it must be true, because Donohue sometimes has been known to make a misjudgment, but he's decidedly not a liar. Those letters he quotes from must be real.
I have heard similar stories about Christmas being based upon various pagan myths, solstice rituals, and fertility rites. My old friend, since deceased, Fr. Francis X. Weiser, S.J., wrote a book on Christian Feasts and Customs in which he demolishes these stories, but they have nine lives among the secular enemies of Christmas.
I'm generally supportive of Walmart, whose management is politically conservative. I'd say that someone there has screwed up, and maybe a little pressure will fix it.
Well Wal Mart seems to be bidding fair to be added to that list. Who's next up, K Mart?
Your a hypocrit, love how you claim to be a Christian but then support companies that would attack them.
Are you one of those?
being silly.
Pins? I think mine just exploded ;)
Since Christmas IS a holiday, I don't see what the problem is.
HOLYday. Holy,,,,,, different, set apart from others.
GOOD! I hate those stupid jingle bell ringers from the Slavation Army!
And Wal-Mart isn't doing anything to "ban" Christmas! Stupid wacko Christians! I guess it's that time of year where we will have to endure the hysterical cries from the church about how Christmas is in danger in America! HAHA!
As a retailer, we recognize that the ACLU may ream us for not sucking up to customers buying Chanukah or Kwanza gifts during this time of year and we certainly don't want a nasty court fight with the ACLU, so we will simply ignore Christmas."
Well in that case you have no data about what a Jew, Hindu, or Buddhist would do.
But they are right about Christmas being the only day of the year that they close. Except in Louisiana where hurricanes are also a good reason to close. Do they close on Kwanza or Chanuka?
Ya but these SOB's sure were quick to put out the Christmas displays and items day after labor day to cash in on a holiday they don't want to recognize. Materialistic greedy bastards.
Now that you have actually gone to the WallyWorld website and searched for "Christmas" you may want to scan your computer for the nasty cookies, adware, and spyware that Wallyworld left on your computer.
Yeah, well you know those church people.. they'll believe anything.
LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE
"Go to its website and search for Hanukkah and up come 200 items. Click on Kwanzaa and up come 77. Click on Christmas, and heres what you get: Weve brought you to our Holiday page based on your search."
I found 7,970 Items SPECIFIC for CHRISTMAS on the Walmart site. All you have to do is READ. the HOLIDAY site covers all bases, but Christmas is THERE.
