Letter: Christmas is a religious holiday
People are taking to social media to show their frustration with the design of the new Starbucks holiday cup with #MerryChristmasStarbucks. Credit: Starbucks
I was angered reading that "Christian conservatives . . . criticized the lack of Christmas messaging and imagery" and by Donald Trump raising the idea of a boycott .
I'm not Christian. If I'm spending my $5 on a cup of Starbucks coffee, I should not be "messaged" about Christmas. Christmas is, no matter what retailers and TV shows would have us believe, a religious holiday. As such, its celebration belongs at home or in church.
If you really want to keep Christ in Christmas, then keep Christmas out of Starbucks.
