AFA's Naughty or Nice list

Bloggers for Christmas

I'm just curious how many of you will shop at one store over another based on their stance on Christmas?

As we were driving to see family over Thanksgiving, I stumbled upon American Family Radio.
I don't know if I've just always missed out on their station in our area, or maybe it just isn't broadcast here (doubtful considering we're a huge area!).

Anywho - they were talking about their naughty or nice list - categorizing retailers by their stance on Christmas.

I personally, won't boycott a company for not saying "Christmas", but you can bet your bottom dollar that I will go out of my way to support those who do. Which normally means that all my shopping is completed in Christmas supported stores and I never make it to the others.




Color Code: 
BLUE: An AFA "5-Star" rated company that promotes and celebrates Christmas on an exceptional basis.
GREEN: Company uses the term "Christmas" on a regular basis, we consider that company Christmas-friendly.
YELLOW: Company refers to Christmas infrequently, or in a single advertising medium, but not in others.
RED: Company may use "Christmas" sparingly in a single or unique product description, but as a company, does not recognize it.

    This is an interesting list! I can't say that I'd totally boycott a store, but like you, I like to offer a little more support to those who do Christmas!
