Clearly, I believe in taking a more secular and inclusive stance. Therefore, I have no campaign.

I've been fighting back with this song (feel free to use it in your campaign if you like it): Best Buy Inn Dr. BLT (c) 2006 http://www.drblt.net/music/BestBI.mp3 for more information, visit my blog: http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/blognroll/2759 or my website: http://www.drblt.net Speaking of the war on Christmas, Best Buy has just dug their heels in and returned to the trenches by banning the greeting, “Merry Christmas” from their advertising campaign this Christmas.

I don't mind the season so much as the constant nagging and "in-your-face"-ness of the whole thing. I mean, thank god 106.7 in both Boston and New York is playing all Christmas songs non-stop or else I don't know where I'd get my fix. (Also thank god I got "Hollywood sings Christmas" a few years ago so I can keep that spirit alive the rest of the year) Personally, I'd be happier if people forgot all the holidays, and instead just said what they really thought. Don't say you're going to show how to decorate a "Holiday" table when you're planning on showing how to decorate a table using red, green and silver. Just say "Merry Christmas" if that's what you feel. I won't think any less of you. (that having been said) Happy Holidays to everyone ;) I completely agree.
