the christmas special plot is as follows,

someone or something steals or threatens christmas,
santa saves christmas with the help of someone cute or a group of cute stuff
everything works out great.

children will not be scared by this because most of them are sussed in enough to be 100% sure, from the outset, that santa and the cute animals will save christmas in the end.

the fact that you are not aware of the christmas special plot does not bode well.

They offer up nothing. It is not a happy ending. It's just like in real life, tax the crap out of you with no real plan to do anything about it.

Utterly disgusting.. Have they no shame? Of course they don't. While it may have been intended as "innocent" it certainly is NOT.. it's a disturbing method to push political ideology onto children when they least suspect it. I certainly hope their returning customers decide to spend their money at more worthy stores, and not stores pushing politics on 5 year olds.

Sorry, this is complete crap, if I had children, and they went to Build-A-Bear before, they sure as Hell would not after that video.

I would find as many like-minded parents as possible and boycott them.

Picket signs, petitions, mailers to people's home, the works.

It is bad enough when corporations use innocent propaganda, meaning the subtle crap, but this blatant misuse of their website needs to stop, and it is bad enough because people like carbon-abuser Al Gore go spouting off political lies as a financial predator selling a movie like An Inconvenient Truth.

Global Warming is nothing more than a sham, trying to force legislation towards taxing people for breathing, trying to force mandated legislation to get people into eco-friendly vehicles without just cause, and trying to force mandated legislation to generate revenue by people buying cars they do not want nor need that will all have OnStar, XM-Radio, and Sirius Radio.

Well, this makes sense.
Since Santa Claus doesn't really exist then neither does Global Warming.
It looks like the Left Wing Loons have given up trying to convince adults
that global warming is real. Lets attack the children! They are young
and impressionable and don't know any better.
