Separation of Church and Burger
A McDonald’s restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina has added its opinion to the “Merry Christmas” v. “Happy Holidays” debate. The sign in front of the McDonald’s reads: “Merry Christmas, Jesus is the Reason for the Season.” According to this article, at least one person called the McDonald’s corporate office in Atlanta and requested that the sign be changed to “Happy Holidays,” although a random survey of drivers elicited no protest. According to the restaurant's managers, the sign has been good for business as church groups have stopped in for a bite to eat and some people who usually don’t patronize McDonald’s have also stopped by because of the sign.
