December 9, 2014 - Target sucks in Edmonton
Merry Christmas Target…You P.C. Bastards!
I couldn’t help but notice that Target is one of those stores that has sold out by refusing to use the word “Christmas” in their ads. They’ll generally use words like “Holiday” or “Season” instead. Wal-Mart used to do this too, but changed when, to their horror, they found out that people didn’t like the policy. I complained to Target about this, and I got an answer that said that they will always use Christmas imagery…but “want to be respectful about the diversity of their employees and guests”. Translation: Christmas has become a dirty word and people that come from other countries might go berserk if they have to adopt some of our traditions. I informed them that they have offended me by being such a bunch of politically correct scrooges. I also said that they better not put the flag in the store either because not everyone was born in this country. They better not mention Halloween or Valentines day or Easter either then. Thanksgiving might offend vegans… and turkeys. So don’t tell me about the Thanksgiving sale. And don’t even get me started about Chinese New Year. I always thought that it was the Grinch who stole Christmas, but it’s sell out corporate morons like Target that are trashing Christmas these days. Andy Williams sung about Christmas being “The Most wonderful time of the year”, but Target just doesn’t get it apparently.

Happy Holidays. 😉
Christmas is imported from other countries. The USA is a diverse place, and while I don't give a flying fuck what terms corporations use, I think it's pretty stupid and narcissistic to get pissed off that they don't use the term you like. Do you still believe in Santa too?
`Enjoy the Holy Days...which is what you mean when you say Happy Holidays. But let's be honest the only ones that consistently occur during December are Christmas and related feast days.Your first sentence is nonsensical, especially given the first clause in the second.
You're wrong. Christmas, and the people that celebrate it, are imports. I'm quite sure it's not a Native American holiday.
To-may-to To-mah-to Either way, this is an entirely consumer driven season (regardless of anyone's religious beliefs) and I'm still getting my ass kicked everyday by hundreds of people all wanting the same thing. Doesn't matter what you call it, it's a major fucking drag working at Target this time of year.
china doesn't celebrate christmas traditionally but it's embraced as a holiday and celebrated as well. 😉 Why not? Gives merchants an excuse to have a sale. China doesn't go berserk over it. And china is traditionally either atheist or Buddhist. If the other ethnic communities don't care why should target.
Everybody cares, but nobody cares about what everybody else cares about. And Christmas is hardly anything more than a commercial opportunity to spend money on crap people don't need, and give gifts to people who don't appreciate it.
