Thanks for the link. The management at Tagged probably don't care what anyone thinks, but at least I thought a little note might cause them to stir their coffee a little faster due to aggravation.

To Whom It May Concern:

It is absolutely marvelous that Target Stores, will be selling Holiday Trees, but my curiosity would like to know of which holiday they represent and more importantly if in fact your use of the word holiday; rather than Christmas, is a passive attack against Christianity.

It has become obvious that the French are rapidly becoming a secular country and it is my hope that the Target Stores being affiliated with the French government in one way or another is not ashamed of the word Christmas.

In the event Target Stores refuse to recognize Christmas and or Christmas trees, I agree that it is the right of management to take such action and of course it is my intention to use my right and that of my family to refuse to spend one American dollar in your stores until such time as your policy changes.

It is also my right and I expect to exercise it, to share my thoughts and your marketing system to all of my friends and acquaintances, as well as all others that I come in contact with during this Christmas Season.

While you contemplate your right to abandon a word, Christmas, that has been around for 2,000 years or so as not to insult non-Christians, you might want to consider the fact that it is possible that your policy might well appease the atheists and anti-Christians, while simultaneously alienating the millions upon millions of American Christians.

Last, but not lest, somewhere in your future, when there are no more Target Stores, nor any other stores and you find yourself and or your board of directors, possibly in front of Him, you might consider contemplating how you will explain why you refused to acknowledge Christmas Day.

It seems to me that a borrowed phrase, or at least part on one might be appropriate to ponder: "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.

As I mentioned previously, it is your decision to ignore the celebration of Christ's Birthday; however, through your cunning ways, you still seek to acquire American dollars from people purchasing Christmas gifts. When it is your turn to meet Him, maybe you can offer Him one of your leftover Holiday trees that don't sell on the day after Christmas when all the stores that ignored Christmas have their usual AFTER CHRISTMAS SALE.

Best Regards and Merry Christmas

P.S. Please let me know when you decide to sell Christmas trees and Christmas gifts.

Celebration of Christmas is not a requisite of Christianity. We can celebrate the birth of Jesus and His crucifixion and resurrection every day.

However, when Christmas is co-opted into a commercial orgy and Christmas itself is a forbidden word, there is a problem.

I won't be partaking of the non-Christmas retailer wet dream. That is not to say I won't be giving gifts to close friends, I just don't get caught up in the spending spree (AND I set a few things aside throughout the year).

Somewhere in Target's love of diversity, they abandoned celebrating my faith. Instead they hear cash register bells.

They do find time to celebrate the communist holiday "International Womens Day", the homo/bi/transsexual celebration "Pride Month", etc. I guess we don't share the same values.

"While you contemplate your right to abandon a word, Christmas, that has been around for 2,000 years or so as not to insult non-Christians, you might want to consider the fact that it is possible that your policy might well appease the atheists and anti-Christians, while simultaneously alienating the millions upon millions of American Christians."

So these stores that reject Christmas and Christians should check these stats and rethink their marketing strategy.

In the US 84% of the population are Christian, that leaves 16% that are not. MY guess is that the 16% are all millionaires. LOL. Amen
