Right. If the ads featured a Christmas tree, a Hanukkah menorah and whatever the heck the main symbol of Kwanzaa is, then I could accept it.
Except no, it’s a completely fake diversity, one in which they show explicitly and exclusively Christmas imagery, but simply won’t say “Christmas”. When and why is the word Christmas so taboo with advertisers? They preach acceptance towards all these major holidays, yet talk about the holidays being over when Kwanzaa is just beginning (it’s December 26 - January 1 this year.)

I hate, HATE when they want me to spend money on PRESENTS and they refuse, REFUSE to say Christmas!!!
If I say to the clerk, "Merry Christmas" and they say, "you too" I ask for the manager and complain. They can at least say what I say to them..."Happy Holidays, or Merry Christmas"
I figure that if one complaint can stop a school having Santa I can be the complaint to bring Christmas back.
Years ago, Walmart stopped saying Merry Christmas. I told the manager I would stop shopping there all year because of it. (That is my rule if they won't say Merry Christmas)
The next year they had Christmas back in decor and clerks saying it. So I wasn't the only one!
