The Supposed "War on Christmas" by Retailers

Now I'm not going to mention any names here, but someone has been calling for a boycott on several retailers for their decision to tell their employees to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas."

First, the obvious. Retailers don't really care about promoting any sort of religion or holiday. They care about making money. That is how they make their decisions; being conscious of their target market and being careful not to be exclusive to anyone.

And really, is there one person in America who actually gets offended when someone says "Happy Holidays"? Hell, from my experience in retail stores, you're lucky to get a "have a nice day."

This is just another case of someone getting offended for someone else. "Well personally I'm not offended, but 'many people' are."
