Best Buy Bans Use of Merry Christmas In Advertising

Dear dhenwood@panix.com,

Best Buy has announced they will be using “Happy Holidays” this
coming Christmas shopping season, and they will not be using “Merry
Christmas.”

Dawn Bryant, a spokeswoman at Best Buy Co. Inc., says their
advertising will not be using the term “Merry Christmas.” “We are
going to continue to use the term holiday because there are several
holidays throughout that time period, and we certainly need to be
respectful of all of them,” Bryant said. Click here for reference
article.

While many other retailers have decided to return to the traditional
“Merry Christmas”, Best Buy will not be among them. Best Buy
considers the use of “Merry Christmas” to be disrespectful.

But while Best Buy, the largest consumer electronics company in the
nation, will not be mentioning Christmas, they sure do want the
shopping dollars from those who remember the Reason for the season.

Take Action

Send an e-mail to Best Buy telling them of your disappointment at
their decision to ban Christmas in their advertising. (You may
receive an auto-reply. If so, that is ok. Don’t worry about it, your
e-mail has been received.)

Forward this to your friends and family so they can learn of Best
Buy’s decision.

If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with
a small gift? Thank you for caring enough to get involved.

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends!
