Taking Christmas out of Christmas!

It seems many retailers are trying to be politically correct every Christmas season and take the word Christmas out of their advertising. They want to call it "holiday" shopping or "holiday" specials.


 

I'd like to know what holiday, other than Christmas, exchanges gifts, has trees and Santa Claus as its symbol, the sending of cards, or has been celebrated in this country for a very long time? What holiday do they derive most of their sales from? Hanukah? Kwanza? Eid? I don't think so.


 

My suggestion is to shop at only those stores that recognize Christmas for what it is. I say let those stores that refuse to mention the word Christmas depend solely on those celebrating Hanukah, Kwanza, and Eid for their holiday sales.


 

I have a feeling they would go out of business or change their ways rather quickly. They need to see what it means to be politically correct once or twice and find out who butters their bread!
