The War On Christmas? By Allison Pinski

You may have seen the articles and rants all over your Facebook page as many [Christian]  Americans take to the internet to share their disgust with Starbucks’ new coffee cups. Some people have become angered that the holiday-edition cups this year, which are a solid red, are not “Christmasy” enough, and thus Starbucks must be trying to wage a war on the Christmas season.

In the video below, posted to Facebook, Joshua Feuerstein attempted to start the movement #MerryChristmasStarbucks in an effort to get more people to trick Starbucks into putting “Merry Christmas” on their cups.

Starbucks REMOVED CHRISTMAS from their cups because they hate Jesus ... SO I PRANKED THEM ... and they HATE IT!!!! #shareUse #MERRYCHRISTMASSTARBUCKSFollow --> Joshua Feuerstein

Starbucks is a business, and businesses have a history of trying to appeal to as many people as possible to sell their products or services. Starbucks’ making a neutral cup isn’t an attempt to wage war on Christmas, but rather to be neutral during the holiday season. There is no controversy here; Starbucks is doing what nearly every other large corporation in America does around the holiday season.

What do you think about the Starbucks cups? If you want to read more about the “controversy,” here are two interesting articles from The Washington Post and The Atlantic, but really this isn’t an issue Americans [Christians] need to be concerned with.
