They are anti christmas, american, most everything from our experience.

They won't let Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts Fundraise in front of their stores.... no Salvation Army... nothing.

While it is not my intent to start any heated arguments or bash-this/bash-that threads, but you are misinformed.

Target donates heavily to charities and local organizations across the country - American Red Cross, Salvation Army, military organizations, local law enforcement, etc., plus gives 5% of its earnings to support the communities in which they have stores.

I for one would rather donate as I see fit and not be subjected to the constant bell-ringing or other charities camped out at the front doors of businesses I frequent.

You missed what I posted. It is common knowledge and made headlines all over about one year back.

We do not shop at Target for that reason.

I'm the humbuggiest bugger on the planet but that was pretty spectacular.

Very moving, and the first girl to sing has balls of steel.

I'm not as humbuggy as the tubs of lard still cramming nosh into their faces whilst this wonderful experience was taking place :headscratch:
