Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it's truly informative. I’m going to watch out for brussels. I’ll be grateful if you continue this in future. Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

Hey Richard, I hate to admit it, but I am one of those Christians who have adopted the Santa Claus mentality. And you (and Tom) are absolutely correct that the focus needs to be re-directed at celebrating ONLY the birth of Christ. BTW, your comment is really good:--)

Yeah, I know what you mean. This is such an out of the ordinary thing to happen. Saying Merry Christmas is just standard.

I think this post is all about finding where you fit in life, who you fit with and how badly things can go when you stand on your principles. I'm all for standing for my principles and clearly this woman had as her principle that this holiday be recognised as Christmas, not some generic alternative. I think a lot of Christians are more and more adopting this as their own principle as a stand against the secularisation of the Birth of Christ. Where I stay, a Jewish convert to Christianity is promoting a move to end using Santa Claus as a symbol of Christmas, saying it detracts from the central Christian message. I think when Christians adopted Santa Claus, they opened the door to the dilution of the message of Christmas. Maybe that's what Christians need to do on a wider scale - reject Santa Claus, and get back to celebrating the birth of Christ and nothing else?

Hey Ryan. I agree with you 100% that Word of Mouth is one of the BEST marketing tools we have. Not to mention that it's free to use!

Hmmm, I understand your point about it being the real world, BUT just because that's how the world does it, doesn't make it right, you know what I mean?

Tom, that is a good question and year after year I tell myself, I am going to do better about treating Christmas the way it should be treated in regards to Christ and His birth. I have got to do better at that..

I agree with you Kim but that is popcorn and pink shoelaces dreams. In the real world, no matter how we flip it, turn it, or look at it, personal feelings come into play in every aspect of life. It is a really big person that can totally remove their personality, feelings, and beliefs and deal with life completely objectively. I really don't think such a person exist. Actually, the employee did EXACTLY the same thing the employer did. She just didn't have the power.

Richard, A honest tech guy is as hard to find as an honest mechanic. I applaud you for keeping the customers best interest as your first priority. I really don't know why people haven't learned that word of mouth can be amazing or devastating, its up to them. Treat your customers right and you'll find yourself with loyal customers who spread the word about your products/services.
