Excellent. I get sick of retailers who avoid using Christmas in their ads but they want are money. They start playing Christmas music on Nov 5th so we run and buy like Pavlov’s dog. BTW - most of the Christmas music sucks and often done by people who hate Christains like Streisand.
Springsteen Merry Christmas Baby is one of the worst and Estefan’s songs suck too. Bah Humbug - not really - but the commercialization is sickening. All these artists rush out to do Christmas songs to line their pockets.
What a great idea! I will pass this on to my pastor.
I noticed that the local store of one of the worst offenders (white bull dog with red bullseye) had “Merry Christmas” on the top of the front door. One small step. . . .
I just bought a couple two liter bottles of Coke for tomorrow. One one side it says “Holiday 2009” and on the other it says “Feliz Navidad”. I guess Spanish speakers don’t have to be shielded from any dangerous Christmas influences.
Count me in — wishing all a peaceful, prayerful Advent — and a Merry Christmas (a month in advance)
wow. hitler forced jews to wear a gold/yellow star. christians are volunteering to wear a badge, too. that is just disturbing. if you want to hear someone say, “merry christmas” maybe you should visit a church instead of a store or mall.
96% of Americans celebrate Christmas (to most of whom Christmas = what’s Santa going to bring me?), but only 80% say they are Christian (whatever that means), and 76% say they are “white” (which no longer means European)...something is seriously amiss here.
Can I get one that says, “It’s okay to wish me a Merry Christmas on December 25”?
Did you buy any pins, and if so, how long did it take to get them?
I really don’t worry if non-believers wish me a “Merry Christmas” or not.
The Biblical Christmas has nothing to do with an otherwise surly retail clerk acknowledging the birth of Christ or the orgy of spending that occurs during this time of year.
The buttons should say, “If you don’t wish me a Merry Christmas, my shopping items are free.”
