No wonder Christmas sales are down.

Interesting, but I bet there's a real backlash coming. I refuse to buy any Christmas presents in stores that do not celebrate Christmas, I refuse to buy a "holiday" tree. They want to sell holiday trees, let them sell them on Holiday and see just who buys them.

My sister told me that my neice wanted a gift cert. for Christmas for either Target or a supermarket near her first apartment.

I told my sister I am boycotting Target, so I will go with the supermarket.

My husband and I have purchased so many things from Lowes, but since they renamed Christmas trees to holiday tress, I won't be shopping there until after Christmas, and maybe never.

When I call a big box store and they say: "Happy Holidays," I cheerfully say: "Merry Christmas." I don't blame the workers; they want to keep their jobs.

Just a few examples of what I'm doing.

We should make sure that these people never get into power again.

We had become fraidy-cats, enfeebled, because 50 years of liberalism had made us no longer believe in ourselves, who we were and what we stood for.

I believe that every time Ann Coulter is not a "fraidy-cat" in her battle against cultural revisionists many people with room-temperature IQ's label her as "extreme".

Yes, sometimes even here people become "too fine to get out in the streets, too gentlemanly to call things the way they" are.

In keeping with the rules:

Thanksgiving will be next. Then, Independence Day. Then what? Mother's Day? Father's Day? Of course, Labor Day will remain.

Last year I had a thought about making some of those vehicle magnets (Like the Support Our Troops ribbons) that say Merry Christmas on them. I went into Kmart this weekend and found somebody had already used my idea. I found a nice one with the three wisemen on it that says, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season." I expect I'll encounter a little road rage from the DemocRATS for having it on my car but they will have to deal with it.

[Faith]

Good for you! We can either roll over and play dead or deal with this in a way that lets these retailers know that there are people who consider their policies to be anti-Christian. I haven't shopped at Target since they kicked out the Salvation Army. I will be smiling and saying "Merry Christmas" to every clerk with whom I do business.

And by the way, Merry Christmas to you!

Does anybody here listen to Rabbi Spero's show?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I live in a very rural area. I'm lucky to get G. Gordon, Rush and Sean. The good thing about it is, NO ERR AMERICA with that buck-toothed Franken idiot.

[TASMANIANRED]

Very good..

My Jewish brother in law said that his grandfather introduced colored, printed, Christmas wrapping paper into this country in the 1920's. Obviously, the holiday wasn't offensive to him! ;o)

Just a thought....

I too was bothered by the sudden appearance of all the "holiday" hoopla and the disappearance of "Christmas" anything in all the ads on TV. Then it occurred to me how bothered I had been last year, and every Christmas for a lot of years, by the fact that Christmas had all but been taken over by commercialism. In a way I'm relieved by the giving of Christmas back to those of us who choose to celebrate it for what our faith tells us it is, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

My mom always told me God moves in mysterious ways. Looks like she was right again!

Merry Christmas, fellow Christians! Happy holidays to everyone else!

[Sun]

And good for you, too!

It might also be good to write a letter to the editor to inform elderly folks who might only get their news from the tv, but love to read those letters to the editor.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
