I have been thinking the exact same thing and was going to start a thread saying the same thing so I tip my hat to you Blues man. All these stores like K-Mart Sears Walmart changing it to "holiday" makes me sooo mad. I am a Christian and I don't see how even if I wasn't a Christian, how saying Merry Christmas to someone could offend them. I am glad sales are down at the stores which have refused to say Christmas, because they had it coming.
