Santa Shot: Neighbors Not Happy

Your Neighbor's inflatable Santa may not seem so bad after all. A guy in Santa Maria, California set up a display Jesus shooting Santa Claus and a run-over Rudolph. Click here to see KCOY's report on the display.

The homeowner says Santa represents the commercialism of Christmas.

Is The Gap Censoring the Word "Christmas"?

The American Family Association's website has articles with titles like: "Even Muslims Say that Muslims Shouldn't Serve in U.S. Military," "Obama Bows to Emperor of Japan," and "The Fundamental Flaw in Liberal Thought: Not Facing Reality."

On November 11th, the AFA called for a 2-month boycott of Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic stores. The AFA website reads:

For years, Gap has refused to use the word Christmas in its television commercials, newspaper ads and in-store promotions, despite tens of thousands of consumer requests to recognize Christmas and in spite of repeated requests from AFA to do the same. ... Christmas is special because of Jesus. It's not just a "winter holiday." ... The Gap is censoring the word Christmas, pure and simple. Yet the company wants all the people who celebrate Christmas to do their shopping at its stores? Until Gap proves it recognizes Christmas by using it in their newspaper, radio, television advertising or in-store signage, the boycott will be promoted.

The LA Times pointed out today that the AFA is mistaken. It's true. See for yourself.

Man Stuck in Chimney

Poor guy doesn't know how he got there. He wasn't in just any chimney. He was 4 feet down a chimney at a Nectar's Night Club in Burlington, VT. Fortunately for him, a woman heard some noise coming from a chimney around closing time and called for help. Firefighters followed the foot prints in the snow to find the man in the chimney.
Do you think he got an early start on Christmas? I suspect he was at quite a party.
