I should have addressed my comments to you.

"I should have addressed my comments to you."


That's OK.

I agree that "a Christmas tree should be called a Christmas tree" and find it preposterous that someone could be offended by such a labelling. I've never met a soul - atheists and agnostics alike - who claimed offense at the tidings and trimmings of CHRISTMAS.

(Although, once 12-26 rolls around, "Happy Holidays" should be perfectly acceptable.)

I just don't think it's the job of merchants to celebrate the meaning of Christmas, nor do I expect them to. Their only job is to sell more crap to an increasingly-materialist America. The best way to fight them is not by demanding change, but by taking your business elsewhere. If all offended Christians did so (rather than continuing to shop there), their inane policies would change overnight.
