I’ve actually given this some thought and, very truthfully, I don’t see how lack of signage is a “War on Christmas” and influencing signage is a victory.

As far as I can tell it has more to do with:

A)Creating a belief that Christians are somehow under attack for reasons I don’t quite understand.

B)The satisfaction of influencing some entity as a group, such as a multinational corporation, also for reasons I also don’t quite understand.

As with most institutions, especially social ones, Christianity is reforming under our very noses and we can't see it. Look at the number of young people who describe themselves as "spiritual but not religious" and you will see the next generation of Christians. The next generation Church will be vibrant, alive and optimistic. A sharp contrast to the dour, sour and dogmatic Muslims.

Or others.

I think that there is a real need for the religious to be put-upon to confirm their religiousity. I prefer to walk into a room with such a feeling of confidence that any doubters come away with the impression that no matter what they do to me, kill me, suppress me, feed me to the lions, that they will not have touched my faith.

It is a euphemism that the “Holidays” are strictly a word replacement for CHRISTMAS.

The Solstice has not happened. Kwanza is just beginning. New Year’s is a week away.

The only way you can have an “After Holiday” sale is AFTER “the” Holiday that you don’t wanna really say.

Target has no problem celebrating Gay Pride Month as a corporate "holiday season" (check their website).
