Target: Did not return phone calls

According to the Target Diversity Calendar (with events, holidays, and celebrations), Target celebrates Pride Month during June and Independence Day during July. When December rolls around on their calendar, Target is silent in respect to Christmas or even the holidays in general. Only Human Rights Day (December 10) is mentioned for December.

I was in Target yesterday. They had green and red snowflakes hanging. It was not overtly Christmas. However, they were selling Christmas trees, decorations, wrapping paper, Christmas outfits, etc. They had Christmas music playing in the CD aisle.

It's ironic that this whole controversy was probably started by a small number of geeks in a back room somewhere. For years people complained about the commercialization of Christmas. Maybe with less advertising, more people will look inward to their own homes and hearts for the joy of Christmas. That too would be ironic that the people trying to subdue the holiday would make it more meaningful to those of us that celebrate it.
