How much do those plastic bracelets cost?
If you wanted to order a lot of them and have them 'engraved' with something like this



how much would they cost? $1 a piece? Less than that?

I know you can get tshirts for next to nothing when you buy them in large lots so I am assuming these bracelets aren't very expensive either.

These bracelets are being sold by Jennifer Giroux for $2.

http://operationjustsaymerrychristmas.com/
"The enemies of Christmas have succeeded in making Christians feel as if we are bad and intolerant to wish someone a "Merry Christmas". This is political correctness run amok. We have reached an all time low point in our nation's history when human sensibilities are elevated above offending Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is long past the time for Christians to stand firm in our faith."

Since a search of her website yields no info about the sales being donated to any charity, I think we can assume she is keeping the profits.

So does Jennifer Giroux really want to save Christmas or is she just looking to make a buck?

1. Didn't Jesus throw the moneychangers out of the church?
How will she explain herself at the pearly gates?

2. in bulk, probably a nickel or so, I would guess . . .
particularly if they're manufactured somewhere in Asia, which they undoubtedly are . . .

3. My contact is here:

They start at $1 for small orders. We're getting 5000 for $.49 each for a transportation costs (for women seeking abortions) fund raiser.

Her profits are probably in the $1 each range, especially since she's charging extra for shipping.

10. Yup, for her and her and her "target demographic," their has to be...
...big money involved, or else why do it? For Jesus?

I wish I could find a bracelet site that you can see your design on-line before you order them. I found a site like that for those silly magnetic ribbons, and we had a great time making up weird slogans and posting them in GD on Saturday a few months back.

Here's the site:

12. I just sent them an email.
Here it is:

I don't celebrate. Do I have to wish people a Merry holiday I don't celebrate? Why do you people get your knickers in a twist with Happy Chanukah??? Jesus was a Jew and I doubt he would like what you're doing in his name.

I don't like being told I'm going to hell because I don't say Merry Christmas. I don't celebrate. Why is my holiday shat upon by you fundies?

14. That's good
Did you see Madeline Albright on MTP this morning? At the end of her segment, she said "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Tim." LOL
