Say Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays

I see no reason to shop for Christmas presents and decorations at places that refuse to recognize Christmas. I used to think that this was a small issue. I now see that it is part of the effort to silence Christians and to remove God from America. They are using incrementalism taking away our ability to speak of the Name Jesus and profess our faith little by little.

Costco says 'No' to Christmas...literally

December 2, 2008

Dear Debrah,

Costco has 520 stores nationwide. But you will not find "Christmas" in a single store.

That's because Costco says it will not use the term "Christmas" on its website or in its stores. Instead, Costco is telling customers it purposely chooses to use the generic "holiday" verbiage. You know, they stock holiday gifts, not Christmas gifts.

Last week, a customer wrote to Costco and asked this direct question – "Does Costco use the word 'Christmas' in your store advertising or on any signs anywhere in your stores during the Christmas season? That's a pretty simple question, yes or no."

Kory Rosacrans, staff manager for Costco replied, "I guess the answer would be No."

Rosacrans said, "Costco does not advertise on television, on radio or in print like other retailers. We only advertise by mailings and e-mail messages sent directly to our members who have paid for the privilege of shopping with us."

Costco wants you to do your "Christmas" shopping with them, while refusing to recognize that Christmas even exists.

Take Action!

Send your e-mail to Costco. Let Costco know that you will exercise "your privilege" of shopping only at stores that recognize Christmas. Remind Costco that their

competitors are vying for your business too, and you will shop accordingly.

Deborah, I agree with you. They've taken God out of a lot of places and now they want to take Jesus name away, but you know what, they can't take Him from our hearts. I believe we are living in the last days and I'm listening for the sound of the trumpet.
Keep up the good work,
AliceE.

Thanks for sharing this Deborah! I too think it is so wrong the way Christ is being taken out of Christmas. This all seemed like it started to happen when Bibles were banned from the classroom. Maybe after that I don't know for sure...but I know it's not good. For sure we may be living in the last days!

Love you my friend!
