"It's a Christmas tree. That's what it is," Rabbi Mecklenburger said in a phone interview. "We wouldn't want a menorah to be called a holiday menorah." But he's opposed to efforts to force "Christmas" into advertising during the shopping season that begins around Thanksgiving, goes through New Year's and includes Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.


Target stores had been the subject of a boycott led by the American Family Association, a Mississippi-based group that said 700,000 people had signed on not to patronize the store. But Friday, the group called off the boycott, when Target officials released a statement saying they will become "more specific" in referring to both Christmas and Hanukkah in commercials and circulars.

On Thursday, AFA special projects director Randy Sharp said Fort Worth-based Radio Shack was among the companies changing their ways, adding "Christmas" to a third of its upcoming TV spots.
But Kay Jackson, a company spokeswoman, said the commercials were shot last summer "before this issue came on the radar screen."

Lowe's, the hardware store company, acknowledged that until recently banners outside its stores said "Holiday Trees," though signs inside the store described the trees on sale as "Christmas trees." After complaints, the banners were removed, said Jennifer Smith, company spokeswoman

Hanuka begins on 12/25. Many other religious happenings occur during this time but the radical fundamentalists are claiming the season as their own.

Maybe they will feel so strongly about this being their country and their religion will prevail, that they will let the rest of us be free from paying taxes to promote their religious beliefs. No, the greedy suckers, want their way and anyone who doesn't agree to bide by their will. Blank them.

What a bunch of bullies. :crazy:
