My personal preference is that boycotts are silly. But at least with stores like Target, the boycott is based on ACCURATE information.

The WalMart boycott or whatever this is becoming is based on virtually nothing. And whatever reason they happen to be using is QUICKLY AND EASILY debunked by WALKING into the store.

Are you saying that Bill Donohue is a liar?

Anyhow, this is all moot, as Wal-Mart has apologized and changed their web site.

The story is based on an actual occurrence and I personally checked the website and what the story said was true. The person has been fired the website has been changed and the people have been listened to.

I am right now typing with fingers covered in paint bought at WalMart.

Were the "Christmas" signs Wal-Mart signs, or vendor's/manufacturer's signs?

Did Wal-Mart employees wish you "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hollidays"?

My two area Wal-Marts likewise have the same signs. There is a display of Holiday Gift Card of every kind imaginable and each day they have a #of days until Christmas on all 4 sides of it.

Wal-Mart is too big to give a rats @ss what some leftist weiney's say.

8:55 a.m.: Wal-Mart issued a press release, aimed at clearing up rumors that the retailer had been telling its associates to avoid using the phrase "Merry Christmas" in stores, in order to be more religiously sensitive and politically correct. "We encourage associates to use their best judgment when greeting our customers and to assess which greeting -- or greetings -- best suit the customers … We want our stores to reflect the communities they serve," Wal-Mart spokeswoman Sarah Clark said. "If 'Merry Christmas' is the preferred greeting, that is fine and appropriate. Or, some associates may choose to say 'Happy Holidays,' which may be more inclusive."
