The Christian voice will never be OK with how Christmas is celebrated or viewed. They've always complained, and they always will. As the Targets and Wal-Marts increasingly took advantage of the sales potential of Christmas, advertising Christmas specials and plastering "Christmas" across everything they could, Christians complained. They wanted the Big Box stores to stop commercializing Christmas. It's supposed to be a celebration of Christ, they said, and the stores were diluting its meaning. So, the Targets and the Wal-Marts took the name Christmas out. They started advertising "Holiday" specials and plastered "Happy Holidays" across their ads. What did the Christians do? They complained. How dare you remove the name Christmas from Christmas, they exclaimed. Now the Big Box stores were trying to [i]eradicate[/i] Christmas. No matter what, they will never be happy. In fact, for me at least, it's the yearly bitching and the controversy that, in large part, has made me want to distance myself from Christmas. The complainers, who say they want to "save" Christmas, are accomplishing just the opposite. You can't just put up a tree and have a good time anymore. It's why my friends and I have agreed not to exchange gifts this year, and instead get ourselves an aluminum pole and put on a nice Festivus drunk.
