With Kwanzaa just starting and New Years still days away, retailer's attempts to be inclusive go right out the window with the annual "after holiday" sales that start on December 26.
Barnes and Noble, in an effort not to offend, refused to use the dreaded C word in pre-Christmas ads. I guess they don't get the idea that running Barnes and Noble's "after holiday" sale starting December 26 kinda lets people know what "holiday" you meant all along.
Kmart goes so far as to have a cartoon in an ad saying to decorations "Lets spend the Holidays together again next year". I guess those "Holiday decorations" and "Holiday lights" they sold really were meant just for Christmas.
Prior to Christmas, Macys ran full page ads listing how many "days to go" but never said days till what.Macys now is touting its "After Christmas" sale.
Bath And Bodyworks is another retailer that seems to be admitting they meant Christmas all along.
While I'm sure others can find more examples, I thought I'd point out just some of the hypocrisy of retailers who claim they use the word holidays "to honor all the holidays this time of year". Funny how that honoring ends December 26.
no shite...just shows what petty liars some of these ad folks are
mostly myopic new yorkers.on mad ave....(unlike our wonderful new york freepers)
It should be noted that Home Depot was founded by some smart Jews in Atlanta....and they know who brought them to the dance obviously....God bless em.
“They believe that god(s) care enough about them to love them but not to impose any rules on the way they have to live, and that ‘any path’ is OK.”
Wow, their “god(s)” sound just like them. I wonder why? They love not Truth, for they ignore Reason, and scorn Faith.
>> Greek Orthodox celebrates Christmas on the 25th like everyone else. <<
Here’s a nickel... buy yourself a sense of humor.
>> (new testament written in Greek and all that) <<
Very good. And would you like to tell the class why that is relevant to the correct dating of Christmas? (Because it is.)
LOL! Ironic, isn’t it?
What? Kwanzaa’s not over!
“few members actually confided in me that they didn’t really believe in God, but they liked the idea of belonging to a church. That certainly took me off guard...”
“having a form of Godliness but denying the power there-of...”
The description of the coming Great Apostacy or “falling away”!
Merry CHRISTMAS everyone!
