I have no idea why anyone would go to Hobby Lobby to get their cheap crap but
here you go:
The Hobby Lobby Hanukkah controversy began when Berwitz learned that on a recent shopping trip his wife’s friends could not find anything related to Hanukkah at their local Hobby Lobby store in Marlboro, N.J., though it was stocked with Christmas items.
According to Berwitz, one of the women asked about bar mitzvah cards, and a Hobby Lobby salesperson replied: “We don’t cater to you people.”
That story prompted Berwitz, who own a market research company and writes the “Hopelessly Partisan” blog, to call the Marlboro store and ask why it seemed to be ignoring Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish festival of lights, which begins on Nov. 27 this year. He wrote that he received the following response:
“Because Mr. Green is the owner of the company, he’s a Christian, and those are his values.”

Not all Christians are dicks...but Steve Green sure is.
And yet, so much Halloween and spring Easter bunny crap every year.
oyvey!putzes!
big tent not.
"you people"? umm, i think that's perhaps the more telling remark here. they cater to the idea of seperatism and "the other" being less...
and they feel no shame in declaring their "christian values" and encouraging staff to do so with impunity.
separate and less...
Steve Green spends that Hobby Lobby money on "oldest Jewish prayer book ever found" for his evangelical museum.

Hooby Lobby also has extensive ties to the Dominionist movement, an ultra-fundamentalist Christian sect that promotes the idea of switching from secular law to canonical law. In other words, the same kind of theocracy that Taliban and al Qaida want.
