Why Christmas Matters

History of "Stand for Christmas"
In response to the secularization of Christmas and the trend of censoring public references to this time-honored holiday, Focus on the Family and Focus on the Family Action began to speak out on the issue in 2007.
We hit a nerve with the public when our 2007 Web video feature, the original “Merry Tossmas”, went viral with more than 2 million downloads!
We soon discovered that citizens across the nation were growing dissatisfied with the tendency of corporations to omit references to "Christmas" from holiday promotions. Many said they preferred to patronize retailers that recognized the reason so many Americans exchange gifts at Christmastime.
Thus, we set out to assist you, the consumer.
In recent years, Focus on the Family has evaluated the advertising of major retailers and assigned ratings based on their level of "Christmas-friendliness." We provided these ratings in an annual shopping guide. The response from consumers – and media outlets – has been remarkable.
This year, we’re excited to present a Christmas campaign with a twist!
We’re placing shoppers in the driver's seat. Through this site, customers can provide feedback directly to retailers and share their experiences with fellow shoppers!
