What’s a kick in the head to me is that Chase has been my bank for over 20 years!
But, this type of stuff around Christmas time is becoming the norm.
So for as much as people may try to deny the reason for the season, Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ-period.
I’m not one of those “Happy Holidays!” people. I say “Merry Christmas!” And if people are offended by it, guess what, kiss my ass!
I’m not one of those sweet talking, turning the other cheek type Christian. I get raw if I have to and I’m not ashamed of our Lord.
So if you want to live your life being offended in a country founded by Christians, then you’re gonna be one offended person for a very long time. Join a support group a play victim to you’re hearts content.
Merry Christmas!
The Drudge Report says Chase Bank told a Texas businessman to remove the Christmas tree he donated to a local branch because it could offend people.
Antonio Morales, owner of Bellagio Day Spa in Southlake northeast of Fort Worth had assembled and decorated a 9-foot-tall tree in the lobby of the Chase Bank branch at 1700 E. Southlake Boulevard as a favor to the branch manager, who is one of his clients.
The tree remained in the lobby from the Monday before Thanksgiving until Tuesday. Morales said his friend called him Wednesday to tell him the tree had to go. She later showed him an e-mail from JPMorgan Chase saying that the tree had to be removed because some people were offended by it.
The bank referred questions to corporate offices.
Greg Hassell, a JPMorgan Chase spokesman, said that the company's policy isn't anti-Christmas.
"People wish their customers merry Christmas when it's appropriate," he said.
However, to ensure that everyone who visits Chase branches feels welcome and comfortable, the bank's policy is to use only decorations supplied by the company.
"We appreciate the thoughtful gesture from Mr. Morales," Hassell said. "Unfortunately, we're unable to keep it [the tree] on display for the remainder of the holiday season." JPMorgan Chase ensures that decorations are "something everyone is comfortable with, regardless of how they celebrate the season," Hassell said.
