Christmas vs Holidays: the question of the year

Not that I can understand why the religious right is so upset about the lack of Christmas in advertisements that they want to boycott those stores whose ads say "happy holidays", but aren't these the same guys who were complaining that all of the commercialism was taking Christ out of Christmas??? You just can't please some people.

I did look at the first section of today's Washington Post. There are 28 pages in the section, and 59 ads (yes, I was surprised the number was that low). Only one ad, on page A27, advertises a Christmas sale. Creative Playthings of Gaithersburg and Chantilly. And, the sale ends December 13.
