This is an issue that sticks in my craw every year. Good for them I hope they are successful.

They will only be successful if every single person who wants Merry Christmas to continue stands up and fights for the same thing.

I put Merry Christmas on EVERYTHING. For anyone to complain about this is ludicrous and its about time we stop bowing to these small groups who want to kill all our traditions.

Glad to hear there are people out there who are challenging all of this. They need everyone's help and I think they will get it. I'm personally tired of these miserable people wanting to make everyone else m iserable.

Misery loves company is soooo true...especially in today's whacked out world.

Hatred for Christians is at an all time high in this country. We might as well start claiming our own territory and planning for secession. At minimum we need to remove all our kids from the public school system. The Christmas issue is just a minor sympton of a likely terminal disease. It's been a long time coming.

Each year the Knights of Columbus supports the "Keep Christ in Christmas" campaign to remind people that Christmas is above all else a holy day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. To help deliver the "Keep Christ in Christmas" message, the Order offers a variety of posters and other materials as well as public service announcements (PSAs) for radio and television.

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list

I suppose "bah, humbug!" would be an inappropriate response here?

(Seriously... all the best in this effort to save our heritage.)

Thanks, it's always been a pet peeve of mine.  Incidentally, Christmas is an official, Federal US Holiday, signed into law by President Hiram Grant on June 26, 1870, a Holiday which can be celebrated by all where the US Flag can also be flown outside public buildings and your home.  Here are some links I had bookmarked on the subject.

More than boycott a few big department stores we should vow to do our Christmas shopping at small, locally owned businesses (or websites) which sell goods crafted by our fellow Americans. These small retailers tend not to be anti-Christmas as are the big guys and their products are often unique.

Yes, the big guns always end up selling their souls and their self-respect for the almight dollar. It's always about the money.
