    Dear Mrs. Hoff,
    I am writing to you and hoping that you will be able to explain an issue to me or refer me to someone that can. I must first tell you that my family gives A LOT of business to Best Buy. My concern is with the recent news that "Best Buy bans Using "Merry Christmas." I DO UNDERSTAND that there are some people in America that do not celebrate Christmas. I understand that you are trying to be equally respectful to "all holidays." Please correct me if I am wrong. My question is this.. Best Buy is closed on December 25tt to celebrate "Christmas." So, would I be correct to assume that Best Buy will also be closed on Hannukkah and Eid and Ramadan and the Chines New Year????? Or does Best Buy still intend to single out December 25th? Also, since Best Buy wants to be respectful of "ALL holidays."..maybe you guys should also close on January 1, February 14, Easter Sunday, July 4 (After all.. we are ALL AMERICANS and people are dying for our freedom) , May 5 (the people of Mexico would appreciate this.) October 31. I am sure that the decision to "ban Christmas" was carefully thought out before the decision was reached. I am writing this letter to ask Best Buy to "CAREFULLY RECONSIDER this decision. In our country, there are A LOT more people that DO celebrate Christmas than Do Not! Best Buy rakes in A LOT of money each year as people go CHRISTMAS shopping. I wonder if Best Buy would appreciate it if EVERY CHRISTIAN decided to BAN BEST BUY from their lists of places to do their CHRISTMAS shopping. I do not plan to walk into another Best Buy until I see CHRIST Put back into the reason for this season.
