I don't think they're going far enough. I think if all Christian shoppers would spend one Christmas shopping only at small Christian retail stores, it would end this nonsense immediately! The gifts would be more meaningful, people wouldn't overspend and go into debt, and we wouldn't be giving our money to stores that belittle our faith! Please check out this website

This truly is important, just like "one nation, under God" is in our Pledge. It's all about lording a totalitarian god over us, instead of us being free to worship, or not worship, GOD. We must fight these anti-God Marxist terrorists every time they file a lawsuit--and we must go on the offensive and put them out of the extortion business. GRRRR!
Who is Hiram Grant? Ulysses Simpson Grant was president in 1870. I'd love to know where this Hiram comes from.
Hiram is his first name.

Manuel Zammarano has formed the Committee to Save Merry Christmas (search) to protest the fact that big retailers profit from Christmas shopping dollars but refuse to mention the holiday by name. His group has boycotted Federated Department Stores Inc. (search), which owns Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s, for collecting Christmas cash without giving Christmas credit for all the end-of-year gift buying. Federated issued a statement saying phrases like “Season’s Greetings” and “Happy Holidays” embrace all religious and ethnic celebrations that take place in November and December and are more appropriate for the “many diverse cultures in America today.” Macy’s also points out that it features Santa in its parade and plays Christmas music in its stores. But Zammarano says that such gestures mean little as long as retailers give in to political correctness.

Is he keeping it going?
Yep. See my tagline.
The word Christmas was nowhere to be found in Vons or Staters Brothers markets.
Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas everybody
Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas to you all!
This really bugs me, too. I found a t-shirt that I’m wearing, when I do my Christmas shopping. That says “I don’t celebrate Holiday, I celebrate Christmas. Take a look at the website: http://www.christianshirts.net/designs.php?id=239
And help spread the word “Merry Christmas!”
Oh Merry Christmas is in all our correspondence. This year in fact we bought nothing bur religious cards and...they say Merry Christmas. I don’t know about the rest of this country but in this household and mine before and those yet to come it will ALWAYS be Merry Christmas. NO ONE will ever take that from us. NO ONE!
I bought a similar shirt at http://www.vchristianstore.com
