From Comcast’s website:
“Plan & Organize features Comcast's popular Tip of the Day - a full section devoted to helping customers leverage the power of broadband to make the holidays better. These tips are supplemented by Planning Calendars, developed by shopping and party-planning experts to help relieve many of the stresses associated around the holidays.
Want to know when the best time for decorating your tree is? What about determining the right time to send Hanukah, Christmas and Kwanzaa packages to long-distance family and friends?”
Ummm. Kwanzaa packages…and Hanukah?
I didn’t know much about Kwanzaa, so I did some research. I found two important things:
1. Gifts are not a “necessary” part of Kwanzaa, but if given they are supposed to be for their children and “educational”, such as books or learning games. Hmmm…Christmas could benefit from that idea!
2. Kwanzaa is NOT a religious holiday, thus many, or even most people who celebrate Kwanzaa are ALSO Christians, celebrating Christmas.
As for Hanukah, many of my Jewish friends give small gifts to their children on Hanukah, but more to placate the children that for any Jewish tradition. Many also give gifts at Christmas.
So, why does Comcast make believe that anything but a few hundredths of a percent of those long distance packages are NOT about Christmas? This is political correctness gone absolutely NUTS!
