COMMENTS: Hi there,

Thanks for the note.

I take your points exactly, though I note in passing that amazon.co.uk is "Christmas" from end to end; this in a country on the verge of sharia law. amazon.fr similarly celebrates "Noel".

Only in America is "Christmas" to be banned so as not to offend.

Only in America is Amazon banning "Christmas" while working as hard as
possible to make a profit on it.

That really is kind of disgusting.

COMMENTS: Hi there,

I just got your wonderfully sensitive multicultural reply, and the tripe contained
therein has inspired utter nausea.

If you're going to have "12 Days of" anything, it ought to be "12
Days of Christmas". That's just the way the culture is. Either use "12
Days of Christmas", or use a completely different tag line. Whatever you do,
don't tease us with "12 Days of" and then end with something other
than "Christmas".

And as for that whole other faiths argument, well, maybe they aren't Christian,
and don't 'do' Christmas, but can't they wish someone "Happy
Birthday"? Wouldn't that be simple good manners, even from those who wish
death on all those not in dar al-Islam?

In any event, my point still stands: you want to make money off Christmas, but
don't want to acknowledge where you're making your money.

How hypocritical.

Thank you for writing to Amazon.com with your concern.

Please accept our sincere apologies why we don’t list the word Christmas on our
website.

Our intention in referring to Holiday is to give ordering guidance for all the holidays,
not to exclude other faiths.

This is certainly not our intention to hurt any one's believe.

Customer feedback like yours really helps us continue to improve our store and provide
better service to our customers. Thanks for taking time to offer us your thoughts.

We value your business and hope you will give us the opportunity to serve you again
in the future.

Comments:Hi there,

You're having "Amazon Music's 12 Days of Holiday". "12 Days
of Holiday"? What the hell does that mean? I mean, believe it or not, "Holiday"
is not another word for "Christmas". And since you're planning on
making money on "Christmas", please have the good grace to tell it like
it is.

The current phrasing makes you look nothing more than stupid. Call it "Twelve
Days of ChristHanuKwanzaaMas" and you'd still look smarter than you do
now.
