Maybe I'm weird, but I prefer not to shop at places that emphasize Christmas, because all they are doing is trying to make money off of your relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

In fact, I'd rather shop at a place like Old Navy that doesn't mention it at all, because at least they aren't trying to make a buck off of one of the most important events in Christianity.

I find it more distasteful when stores try to lull you into buying things by beating you over the head with Christmas imagery, because they are perverting the reason for the season, so to speak.

They make it sound like you must buy something because it's Christmas, when the reality is, buying stuff is not going to make you a better Christian, especially when it's crap that will just end up in a closet somewhere or that will only be trotted out once a year.

I’m sure Old Navy’s stockholders would like to know that their company isn’t trying to make money in December.
