Thanx to Curt H.Happy Holiday?
What happened to Merry Christmas? Why was CHRIST taken away from Christmas? Did I hear Ebenezer say, "Happy Holiday" after his nocturnal visits? Did I hear Santa exclaim ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Holiday to all and to all a good night"? Are pretty lights and presents all that is left of the time we set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ? Every year the true meaning of Christmas seems more and more removed. References to Jesus Christ and God are being taken from us one at a time, either by retailers or the ACLU. This past Sunday's "Palm Beach Post" was stuffed with sales inserts. Let me quote a few phrases used as attention-getters::
Circuit City.............. "Gifts To Love"
Target......................"Our Lowest Holiday Prices"
K-Mart...................."Holiday Perfect Gifts For All"
Sears....................... "Great Gift Sale"
JC Penney.............. "Joy of Giving"
Lowes..................... "Let's Holiday"
I get more and more upset with this trend every year. 86% of all Americans, in a recent poll, said that they believe in God. Then why are the retailers eliminating reference to The Son Of God and turning CHRISTmas into a non-secular "Holiday"? Would you like to fight back? Would you like to tell the retailers what you think of this trend? Now we can!!!!
Go to http://www.citizenlink.com/ and click on the "petition" tab. It will explain everything. Let's no longer be the silent majority. If the retailers insist on taking CHRIST out of CHRISTmas then lets take 86% of their business away! I've already joined the "Tossmas" movement by throwing away catalogs that have substituted Season or Holiday for CHRISTMAS!
For many of us, it may be too late for this year's shopping. That is why we must do the petition!!! Also......let's not forget during the next 10 or so months.

It's because it's not just the Christmas season. It's Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas. Besides, holiday marketing slogans change from year to year. I remember my first year at Target, the theme was "Gather Round" (Printed in a circle). I don't think it's so much about being politically correct as it is about being inclusive.
Also, have you seen Target's Christmas commercial? It's been out for a few weeks. Last line is "There's no place like Target at Christmas to save", and it's a children's Christmas play. Can't get a whole lot more Christmas=y than that!
