Iworkatborders alerted me to this website: Stand for Christmas. It's a website for and by Christians (the most beleaguered minority in America™) about stores that do not properly honor the Christ in Christmas. Here, for instance, is the rating for Borders:

And here are a couple of unhappy Christian reviews:

Comment: I tried to find a children's book about the birth of Christ and could not find any. They had a Christmas display table but it was all about santa!

Comment: We saw "Holiday" trees, "Holiday" this & "Holiday that, but the ONLY mention of "Christmas" was on 2 of their gift cards. Very disappointing!Comment Date: Nov 25 2009 12:41 PM

Comment: They sure do have a lot of titles with "Christmas" in them, but they are accompanied by cursing or other inappropriate words. Absent in the store in totality is any mention of Christmas. Lots of "Christmas alternative" holiday items also. Ugh.
Also offensive? The Gap:

Comment: First thing I notice is that they are only playing non-Christian Christmas songs (Jingle Bells, etc.). Unacceptable. I ask a clerk, "What is the reason for the season?" and I get back "What?". I buy a shirt and when they ask me what kind of wrapping paper, I reply that I want nativity paper or something showing the baby Jesus. They say they only have snowflakes and snowmen and green/red paper. What does green and red have to do with JESUS?
And Best Buy, which recently published a flier wishing people a "Happy Eid al-Adha," is the Great Retail Satan.

Comment: Just bought an ipod from Best Buy, but then learned of their anti-Christmas/pro -Eid al Adha actions. I so regret having purchased from them. Best Buy, give glory to the one who has allowed and attributed to your success...Jesus Christ, not Mohammed!
I am completely addicted to this website.

many retailers are waking up to the fact that it is more inclusive to mention "Christmas."
