About Us
A few years ago we began to notice that we seldom saw the word
"Christmas" in retailers' "holiday" advertisements, we
weren't hearing people wish one another "Merry
Christmas" as we had in past Christmas seasons, and
many of the Christian symbols of Christmas were missing
from public display.
Then, when a friend from our church wished us "Happy
Holidays," that really got our attention. We were
determined to do something about the disappearance of "Merry
Christmas." So, we came up with the phrase, "Please Wish Me Merry Christmas," one that makes a simple, pleasant request.
We had the phrase put on 500 buttons, showed them to friends, and sold or gave
away all of them in just a few days. That response
encouraged us so much that we have continued to provide thousands of buttons to many happy customers since then, some of whom have told us how wonderful it has been to be wished "Merry
Christmas" everywhere they go.
May this Christmas be a
blessed celebration of Christ's birth for you and your loved ones.
