Lowes is unfortunately run by a BDS Liberal. So is Costco.

I still really don’t understand, given that 78% of Americans call themselves Christian, why retailers would want to alienate the vast majority of their shoppers during the time when they make the most money?

It’s out of hand. It has been for awhile, but this is just ridiculous.

I don’t shop at Lowe’s. I’m very annoyed by their bi-lingual signage, (the Spanish is in the same type size as English). Doesn’t surprise me that they’d do this with Christmas trees.

would not putting a Christmas tree upside down be like putting a Crucifix upside down, or the American Flag upside down? in essence an offense to all things Christian?

Okay, there’s a line between PC and stupid. You can step over it by accident, or you can take a full on Gred Louganis swan dive into a swamp of dumb like Lowe’s has. If you own Lowe’s I would dump my stock. Not because of this incident, but because this is proof positive the place is being run by someone with the intellect of a navel orange.

Who ever thought I would consider Holiday Trees as a reasonable replacement.

So what’s Home Depots position? If you have a local hardware store use it. We have “Pleasants Hardware” here in Richmond, Va. Little old guys that have been in the biz since they were 15. They say that nasty word “Christmas” a lot and don’t seem too overly embarrassed.

I am going to go down and ask for a Christmas tree. If they point me to the “family trees” I’ll ask where the Christmas trees are. Then I’ll loudly ask why there are no Christmas trees and say I am going to HD where I know they have Christmas trees.

But Lowe’s has better fine lumber!

I needed a new supplier anyway.

(BTW, any confirmation on the truth of this?)

Choosing and Caring for a Christmas Tree

Decorating the family Christmas tree is a tradition enjoyed in thousands of households. Picking out the family tree can be just as enjoyable and is also a holiday custom in many homes.

Whether you shop for a fresh-cut tree each year or choose an artificial version, make it a fun and uncomplicated process. Lowe's is happy to provide this information as a service to you.

"O Tannenbaum, your branches green delight us."

The Tannenbaum is whatever you want to call it. Who cares what the space aliens from Lowe’s call it? Put real candles on it, too.

And the PC crap over “Christmas” continues. Naively we thought this year that PC would be out after all the outrage of previous years.

We were at a Home Depot in Riverside recently where we found a very extensive Christmas friendly atmosphere that made us excited about this coming Christmas. We purchased a number of decorative items for this year, and we are going back for more. Good for Home Depot.

NO...We don’t work for, or are associated with that company in any manner. Just a customer that loves Christmas.

I work part-time as a cashier at Lowes and am not aware of this. And we can wish the customers a Merry Christmas.
