Major Retailer Ditches Political Correctness, Saying ‘Merry Christmas’ This Year

The American Family Association has made it its mission for nearly eight years to coordinate a major grassroots email campaign targeting retailers that replaced “Merry Christmas” messages with the politically correct “Happy Holidays.” But this year, the group is claiming a major victory.

As we near the holiday season I want to update you on how Gap, Inc.’s family of brands will celebrate the Christmas season. As a global retailer, we embrace the diversity of our customers and respect a variety of traditions and faith during the holidays, including Christmas.

Starting today, every Gap Outlet window will have signs that say “Merry Christmas” along with Christmas trees and wreaths throughout their stores.

great news since it is the Christmas season for most.

They caught crap last year for not mentioning Christmas and only mentioning holidays. Most of their reasoning for saying "Happy Holidays" was because of other holidays close to Christmas. This year that doesn't apply as much.
Hanukkah starts the day before Thanksgiving. Kwanzaa does't start til Dec 26th.

Can we please call it what it really is? Political correctness is an idea created by liberals to stifle our 1st amendment rights. This is Censorship plain ans simple. My reaponse to this idea is "Kiss my ass. I will exercise my rights. I fought for them unlike most of.you socialist liberals. Instead of trying to.change this once great nation how about YOU move to a.socialist country. Try North Korea."
