13. It shouldn't even BE Operation Christmas
Only Christians celebrate Christmas, so Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, etc., kids cannot help out the poor unless they do so for a RELIGIOUS Holiday they don't celebrate? Maybe it should be Operation Helping Hands, or something like it.

Yes, that note was wrong, but I am very surprised that the name of the Operation wasn't questioned also.
