Everytime they advertise a "Holiday Sale" we should call the retailers and jam their lines and ask "What holiday?"
Until we all wise up and stop spending money during the Christmas season the retailers could care less what it is called.
And we are all guilty of the overspending.
Let's put Christ back in Christmas for heaven's sake.

Actually that would be during the Advent season. Very little shopping gets done in the Christmas Season, except the day after Christmas.
There are so many other ways to solve the problem. For the last few years, I've been getting Christmas gifts from the Catholic Relief Services "Work of Human Hands" catalogue. Nifty handmade items, not too expensive, the sale of which helps hard working entrepreneurs in third world countries.

Perfect, Mears! If "they" got the word that Christians are no longer buying during this time, I believe things would change quickly. Hurt them in the pocket - it always works. Besides the retailers and manufacturers, those liberal rags depend on the fourth quarter revenue from increased advertising.
Christians can give to the church who gives money and/or food to the less fortunate. Much more important than buying 'things'. Besides, whose birthday is it anyway?
