December Is Here, So Who Is Naughty And Who Is Nice?

Time to think before you shop. Look at your flyers and see which stores are Christmas friendly and which ones are not.

Funny, I just saw a commercial from Zellers, they are Santa friendly, but no mention of Christmas, only "holiday". What "holiday" would that be??? Tooth fairy "holiday", Santa "holiday", Holiday tree "holiday"? I'm mystified. Is it a "holiday" Holiday? Start to make these anti-Christmas stores feel the pain, of no "holiday" purchases.

Let's call it the German 'Holiday' Village

 It's that season again, which means that for the third year in a row, the German Christmas Village has set up a cozy collection of wooden booths and tree vendors in Dilworth Plaza on the west side of City Hall.
But a few shoppers noticed something amiss yesterday on the tall metal archways signaling the entrances to the shops. The archways had just one word on top - "Village."
Sounds festive, eh?
It turns out that the letters spelling "Christmas" were removed yesterday afternoon from the archways on the north and west sides of the plaza, at the request of Managing Director Richard Negrin. They will be replaced with the word "Holiday."

I found a list of American stores, many of them are here in Canada:

Stores Who Support Christmas vs Those who Do Not

 Here are some Christmas friendly Canadian stores:

Canadian Tire:

Very interesting comments on Christmas as opposed to Holiday.

Sears:

 

"The Holiday season is a time when people have a desire to make a difference in the lives of those in need," says Dene Rogers, president and CEO, Sears Canada Inc. "Our charity bear is one of those purchases that will bring comfort and joy to gift-givers and receivers alike, providing the opportunity for Sears customers to give to charity while fulfilling a gift for someone on their Christmas shopping list."

The Sears CEO could have been stronger in his message by saying The Christmas season, instead of the Holiday season, but I will give him points for actually using Christmas shopping list. 

 

Look at your ads and alert all of us in the comments as to who is naughty and who is nice. My Christmas dollars are going to be spent in Christmas friendly stores.
