Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays


There's a website that tracks (based on customer reviews) the Christmas-friendliness or offensiveness of retail stores during Christmas time. Basically how "politically correct" are they trying to be?? And seriously, what's politically incorrect about saying "Christmas"?? I mean, c'mon, everyone knows it's called Christmas, so what's the big deal?

The site is Stand for Christmas.
Some of the big winners:
- Bass Pro Shops - 98% Christmas friendly
- Cabela's - 95%, never heard of this place... although I'm not the biggest shopper...
- Land's End - 89%

And the big losers:
- the Gap - 82% Christmas-offensive
- Best Buy - 77%, and I think their commercials are ridiculous anyways
- Banana Republic - 75%

Check it out for yourself and read the reviews... then hit those malls!!!
Ha! Better yet, check out Compassion, or World Vision, or your local Pregnancy Care Centre. Gifts can be made "in honor of", and often they'll give you a card to write to the receiver. Those gifts leave a much more lasting impact... seen it first hand. Amazing.
