Holiday...cheering?

"Why...is the phrase "Happy holidays" so insufferable to Christian fundamentalists, but not the vulgar, surfeiting exploitation of Christ's name to sell smokeless ashtrays, dessert toppings, Droid phones and trampolines? I'm not a theologian but I think the Gospels are pretty clear that Jesus was no fan of merchants."  LA Times article

The quoted article cracked me up.  Apparently, a faith-based group slammed The Gap for not using the word Christmas in its ad.  But they do!  Have you seen that "Christmas cheer" ad yet?  I snickered when I heard it the other day, and wondered what was up with that because the ad came across to me as a bird flip to someone or thing, but I had no idea what or why...  Here's the link to the ad.

"Go Christmas, go Hanukkah, go Kwanzaa, go solstice," chant dancers in a Gap ad, released days after the American Family Assn. called for a boycott over Gap's "failure to use the word 'Christmas.' " (Gap)
