This Christmas I buy Coca Cola

Posted on 12/13/2004 8:41:01 PM PST by Racehorse

After watching a Coca Cola advertisement this evening, I've decided to purchase goods or services only from advertisers using "Merry Christmas" in their commercials and advertisements. If they don't have the right Christmas spirit, I can't use their products.

"Merry Christmas" Coca Cola - buy

Please add your good guys to the list.

I am boycotting my neighbor, who put up a great lights display but then ruined it with a "Happy Holidays" sign.

I'm boycotting my neighbor too, but just because I don't like him...

Marshall Fields actually says the word 'Christmas' in their TV commercial. Yay!

I'm boycotting my neighborhood. I'm the only one that put up Christmas lights. I'm starting to think I'm surrounded by atheists and muslims.

'Course, I'm in California...guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Just saw a Coke ad during the football game. You're right, they sing "I'm dreamin' of a White Christmas". Gives me yet another reason to drink Cole!

This reminds me of my little dilemma. I'm having trouble finding wrapping paper with a nativity scene or wise men, anything along those lines. I was hoping to find some in a store that's not a religious bookstore type of place. I will admit I haven't checked out Hallmark yet, but I used to be able to find this stuff at the local drugstore. Now all I find are snowflakes, snow men, Santa, elves, etc. on the wrapping paper. Even angels have been hard to find! It seems like even the wrapping paper companies aren't keeping Christ in Christmas anymore. Anyone have any ideas to share with me?

Coca-Cola essentially created Santa Claus as we know him.

I intentionally bought my Christmas tree from the Boyscouts this year. I even gave money to the Salvation Army for the first time in ages. These two organizations have been rejected simply for their Christian inclinations and I intend to help make up for that the best I can.

I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,

Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,

I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.
