		<description>Amen!

I thought I was the only one that was bothered by this.  I can almost deal with the word &quot;Holidays&quot; as in plural when making reference to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.  It it annoying when they refer to holiday in the singular form.  They talk about buying your holiday gift.  I just want to scream at the television and say WHICH holiday are you referring to?  It seems that in their attempt to avoid offending anyone they are offending the very ones are celebrating CHRISTMAS.  I go out of my way avoid stores that do this.  Good write up.

Thanks,
Paul
