2008 Christmas-Friendly Shopping Guide

How leading retailers’ messages rate

Last updated: 11/13/08

We welcome your use of these ratings in your shopping decisions. (I took out the link for the petition. If you want the link, let me know) Retailers will be presented with petitions — thanking those that embrace "Christmas," and alerting those that have purged or marginalized "Christmas" that you object to the secularization of Christmas. We hope you will "stand for Christmas" with us and encourage the continued acknowledgement of this historic Christian observance in our culture.
