MADEIRA, Ohio -- An Ohio couple has been swamped with orders for bracelets bearing the message "Just Say 'Merry Christmas."'

Dan and Jennifer Giroux came up with the red-and-green rubber wrist bands as a statement against the more generic "Happy Holidays."

They describe that phrase as "political correctness run amok."

"In an effort to offend no one, they have chosen to offend only Christians, " said Jennifer Giroux.

The Girouxs sell the bracelets for $2 each through their store, The Catholic Shop, in the Cincinnati suburb of Madeira.

"It's a trite reminder to say it's OK to defend our Lord at Christmas time," said Jennifer Giroux.

They said they've filled phone and Internet orders from 43 states and have sold almost 15,000 so far, nearly depleting their first two shipments.
