CHRISTMAS OFFENSIVE UPDATE: Target & Sears Reverse Position



WorldNetDaily reported yesterday that Target and Sears have reversed their position on Christmas, both of which are re-introducing Christmas themes into their marketing efforts, which has prompted the American Family Association to drop their boycott on these stores. Their Target boycott petition alone was signed by close to 700,000 people. Sears notified AFA that "Merry Christmas" signs are now on display in all of its stores and its website includes a Christmas greeting. Boycotting works!
