Land's End Neuters Christmas and more

From the Catholic League:

When the Catholic League got a tip from one of its members that Lands’ End refuses to use the word “Christmas” in its catalog—even though it sells Christmas items—we verified its authenticity. Printed below is part of the reply we received from Merlin W. Gorsline in the Customer Relations Department to an inquiry we made regarding the refusal of Lands’ End to mention the word “Christmas”:

“We find ourselves in a difficult position with this issue. As a result, we have adopted the ‘holiday’ terminology as a way to comply with one of the basic freedoms granted to all Americans: freedom of religion. We recognize that Christmas is a Christian holiday, and one of the foremost teachings of the Christian faith is a love for one’s fellowman—no matter what his race, religion or creed.

“If we knew which customers feel as you do, we would be delighted to send them catalogs with ‘Merry Christmas’ splashed throughout the pages. However, we don’t.”

William Donohue rezsponds, in part:

“Lands’ End says that if it knew who to send a ‘Merry Christmas’ catalog to, it would. So do it: contact landsend@landsend.com right away.”

I sent my Email...short and sweet:

Please add me to your list of "CHRISTMAS" (not holiday) catalogue recipients.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!!!

Everyone should email them...maybe they'll 'get it'?

Hope I get my "Christmas" catalogue BEFORE Christmas...

And while you're emailing Land's End, why not email e-mail Doug Herzog, the president of Comedy Central, requesting that he nix the Dec. 17th showing of a vile special by Denis Leary, “Merry F#%$in’ Christmas”, and any future showings that might be planned.
