Jesus loves

shoppers

Jim Peasha is absolutely correct in boycotting large retailers that won't use "Merry Christmas" in their advertising.

We all know Jesus would have encouraged Wal-Mart to use his name to entice folks to purchase cheap plastic doo-dads to give family members in celebration of His birth. Jesus himself was known to shower gifts upon his buddies to show his appreciation and love for them.

We need to follow his example and show our love by buying imitation military guns, portable DVD players, Chia pets and low-cut jeans produced in sweat shops, so our loved ones can pile them on their shelves in a show of materialistic pride.

Christmas: Made in America.
