An Open Letter to Advertising and Merchandizing Firms
Every Sunday I receive a large bundle of ads from the local merchants and outlets for major department stores. This Sunday, NONE of the ads mentioned Christmas. We are supposed to buy gifts from these Scrooges because of a nebulous "Holiday" that they must have invented earlier in the year together with their advertising agencies. Well, in spite of the difficulties this presents to me for buying Christmas gifts, these Scrooge Stores will not get my money. This includes Sears, Wal*Mart, Dillards, Macys, Dick's Sports, Target, COSCO, and any others whose advertising shows that they are avoiding the use of the word Christmas.
This is carrying Politically Correct usage too far for my blood, and it should alarm all Christians that Scrooge Stores are phasing Christmas out and replacing it with some weird Holiday that ignores the birth of Christ. The only way to fight this is with your feet! Do not shop at Scrooge Stores! If all Christians were to do this, Christmas would be back in a flash! The Scrooge Stores cannot take a precipitous drop in their sales without reacting rapidly.
I have it on authority that Wal*Mart has already admitted its error, and will return to using Christmas Holidays next year. Too bad they had to find out who buys the most in their stores--Christians-- the hard way.
Merry Christmas!
