Update: It appears Amazon got clobbered with complaints because the site now includes the name Christmas … good work all. Special thanks to Troy for alerting us.
No seriously. 12 Days of Holiday … Holiday? Amazon’s 12 Days of Holiday. Christmas I understand but 12 Days Of Holiday? Which Holiday? What? Time to send these jokers an e-mail letting them know, like it or not, it’s 12 Days of Christmas. This has truly gone too far. As far as I am concerned apologize, change it, or I am done. Here’s link to contact them

It's only going to get worse. Next they're going to venture into taking the "C" word out of all "holiday" songs. "Have yourself a happy little holiday", "It's beginning to look alot like holiday." or "We wish you a happy holiday, etc." Unfortunately they're not going to stop until the word and very thought of Christmas, let alone Christ is completly faded away like that photo from back to the future. The only way I know how to counter this onslaught is simply say "MERRY CHRISTMAS" everytime someone tells me "happy holiday". We should take back Christmas and stop this Holiday madness already. Enough is enough.
So much for doing my shopping this year with Amazon. It doesn't matter what your religion is. Personally, I don't celebrate Christmas in the religious sense since I am Jewish. But, Christmas does have a well earned place in our society and (to the best of my knowledge) it is the only holiday at this time of year that has "Twelve Days" associated with it.
To think I thought we were starting to make progress this year towards actually naming holidays in ads, promotions, etc. There even was a Hanukkah ad for Best Buy today during one of the football games.
Oh well, back to the drawing board!
Look what I bumped into when googling:
'Santa Claus is Pagan Too' http://www.emeraldrose.com/Extras/santapagan2.mp3

Yowsa!
On the above post – I found it when googling – twelve days of religion – Pagan hits on the first search page!
When they start calling Ramadan "that Muslim holiday" and treat it like Christmas has been treated, I will come back to them.
Politically correct crap!
I just checked the site, and if that's what happened, they must have had plenty of complaints. It actually does say Christmas now.
