Focus on the Family Action’s 2008 Christmas-Friendly Shopping Guide
How leading retailers’ messages rate
Last updated: 12/2/08
We welcome your use of these ratings in your shopping decisions. As an additional way to help you communicate with the retailers we evaluated, we are providing the convenience of a petition which you can sign by visiting focuspetitions.com.
Retailers will be presented with petitions — thanking those that embrace "Christmas," and alerting those that have purged or marginalized "Christmas" that you object to the secularization of Christmas. We hope you will "stand for Christmas" with us and encourage the continued acknowledgement of this historic Christian observance in our culture.

Hmmm, interesting.
I actually thought that Target was turning from "Christmas" too.
A friend of mine was in there recently looking for a Nativity set and she said they did not have a single one. Not even a place on the shelves for one.
Dang it... I love Old Navy too... that makes me sad!
Thank you for sharing this!
I'm glad you found me! I've added your blog to my list. We seem to have more than a few things in common...starting with our love for the Lord, grandchildren, and Disneyland! And in that order! I'm looking forward to reading your blog.
Oh, and I should have added knitting to that list!
Thank you for printing out the Christmas friendly stores. We just went to Kohls this morning and I feel better about it!
yes, I agree with Trish. I was going to say the same thing. Tarjay has been said in the past to give $$ to NARAL.
Good to know Karin, I will check with my local Target and see what they have as far as Christmas goes.
