In the dead heat of summer the American Family Association took aim at Wal Mart and Sam's Club for refusing to use the word "Christmas" in seasonal advertising. And in the first surprise of Christmas 2006, Sam's Club waved the white flag.

Nothing against the AFA but I have to tell you, I think this campaign is pretty stupid. Why add to the commercialization of Christmas and the denegration of the name of Christ by insisting that it be placed in advertising? I'm ok with Happy Holidays. What's so offensive about that?

You know, Christ threw the moneychangers out of the temple. I see no reason to put the temple into the marketplace. The AFA would be better served on focusing on how Christmas is taught and celebrated in FAMILIES.

Just my opinion.

if I see a big nativity scene (or five as is usually the case) in Sams, I expect them to use the proper term.

Jeff, I do agree with you, I just think it's sad that there are people who are trying to take out Christ in the holiday, like last year state Gov's not allowing the manger to be displayed.

Yes sir it does. I do like Bill Oreilly's new Christmas card though. He's on the front weraing a santa hat. On the front it says, Merry Christmas, yes I said Christmas. On the inside it says, Its a christmas tree, not a holiday tree and has a picture. I'm sending the card to the ACLU.
