It boggles me how our country has changed and I don’t think the young people are really aware of what all’s happening. They are busy with their lives and don’t read news like we do. I love to say Merry Christmas to every store clerk.

I remember years ago when I was looking for a life size Nativity scene for my yard and Walmart was the only store that had them. Many stores didn’t have any size Nativity scenes and I mentioned it to the store managers. - showing my displeasure.

In the past there were many on FR that were “sensitive” about “Christmas” and the terrible use of the greeting “Merry Christmas” displayed in stores

But in 2008 a huge percent of a few groups decided to vote from 70%-97% for Obama and seem to have drifted from FR to HuffPost or elsewhere now and celebrating “Festivus” or some other made-up day

Stores now are displaying Merry Christmas again and trashing the Happy Holidays stuff - It seems that buyers want to but “Christmas” presents - not “holiday” presents
