I understand that Target got the message and has changed its policy. Can someone confirm?

I'll be a'testin' Target out for the Christmas standard in a few days and will let you know!

The "Happy Holidays" thing has just gone way too far by most of these national-brand retailers. They really deserve to lose business and be humiliated by consumers for denying the very word of Christmas along with associations, as if it was something to be ashamed of.

What's actually shameful is their blatant omission of this important experience of Christmas.

Somewhat of a change but not sure if they are allowing the bell ringers back yet.

I was at Target last night.

The cashier ended my transaction with a "Come back soon"

I asked her to wish me a Merry Christmas. She giggled and then wished me a Merry Christmas.
