Best Buy Bans Merry Christmas

Best Buy has announced they will be using “Happy Holidays” this coming Christmas shopping season, and they will not be using “Merry Christmas.”

Dawn Bryant, a spokeswoman at Best Buy Co. Inc., says their advertising will not be using the term “Merry Christmas.” “We are going to continue to use the term holiday because there are several holidays throughout that time period, and we certainly need to be respectful of all of them,” Bryant said.

While many other retailers have decided to return to the traditional “Merry Christmas”, Best Buy will not be among them. Best Buy considers the use of “Merry Christmas” to be disrespectful.

But while Best Buy, the largest consumer electronics company in the nation, will not be mentioning Christmas, they sure do want the shopping dollars from those who remember the Reason for the season.

Okay, I was going to leave some thoughtful and insightful commentary here about the idiocy of “Happy Holidays” replacing “Merry Christmas.” But I think the following phrase sums it up:

That’s just dumb.

Oh yes, we wouldn’t want offend say, muslims… But Christians? Aw, no biggie. They are just Christians afterall.

I believe Azzhats comes to mind.

They just following suit, heaven forbid we offend anyone on this planet, especially non-Americans, in America. I just don’t understand, but then again, the Christians were told that they will all be persecuted near the end of the age… This is just one way all CEO’s can get away with it. Personally, I’ll not spend my cash in Best Buy again. But it’s like telling people not to buy gas from BP or something due to high gas prices…

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Good resolve. Though I’m of the opinion that it is better for us to apply a little leverage that says, “I’ll not shop here again … if …” That’s probably how they got to that point. The trouble was, in the past, it was only the ACLU and co. that were doing this sort of thing against Christians, Christianity, and the Constitution – but times are changing, and we are actually winning many of these battles by applying some pressure the other way. Not with heated words, but with short, respectful, but firm letters.

Resectfully,

Steve
