En contra de la Navidad, o más bien el Verdadero Significado de la Navidad.

[Yenia]

Una lista de los "niños malos" que atentan en contra del verdadero significado de la Navidad so pretexto de "neutralidad". Estas compañias se niegan: a llamar (en sus anuncios, cartelones, y publicidad en general) a este dia de celebración propiamente Navidad, o les prohíben a sus empleados decir "Feliz Navidad", o a ofrecer mercancía con referencias a la Navidad, etc.

Después una lista con los "niños buenos"

La lista proviene de Liberty Counsel
