Message from Target: Merry Christmas?
With un-traditional music and decorations, the latest Target television commercial (which I saw a few days ago) is hardly overtly pro-Christmas. Yet, the company does flash the two magical words of the 2006 holiday season--"Merry Christmas"--at the end of the spot, right beneath its famous logo. The words are on there for about a total of three seconds, and they're almost hard to read. Nevertheless, it's progress.
Remember, this is the same Target store that has in the past banned Salvation Army Santas from standing outside the store. (I don't know if that ban is still in effect, or not.)
Hmm....Confusing...We'll have to keep an eye on this one.

Lots of people say "Merry Christmas," and what they mean is, "Happy Santa Claus/Christmas Tree/Presents Day." They haven't gotten the memo that "Happy Holidays" is politically correct. Target is no different.
It should be "Happy day to celebrate Christ and to praise the Lord for his arrival without the expectance of recieving of gifts and goods, but instead to want none and give all."
I agree.

True.
RE: Austin
I agree. That's why I said "it's still progress," as if, it's not much. A real blockbuster would be a nativity scene or a Christian Christmas song in a commercial.
