Amen to that. Every store I've visited (and that's only about three of them) made me feel like I had left the United States for about 20 minutes.

If nothing else on this letter is valid, the fact that their website does descriminate, as stated, is disturbing...and makes me think again about shopping there.

The problem resides in the fact that Wal-Mart recognizes the proper name of religious holidays applying to non-Christians, but felt it had to change the word "Christmas" to something completely non-descript as "Holiday". The proper name is "Christmas", not "Holiday". "Holiday" could imply Memorial Day or Labor Day.

Maybe they could change Thanksgiving to "Black Friday Eve".

This is just another episode in the continuous cleansing of Christianity from the public square.

Martin Luther?

Jeremiah 10:3 & 4

For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammer, that it move not.

I neglected to put someone else's post in italics. I put a "lie o meter" picture there to indicate it was wrong.

Sorry for the confusion. It helps to look at the post being responded to for reference.

You should e-mail that to the Catholic League. I stand corrected regarding the website.

Your answer doesn't explain the other politically correct cave-ins by Wal-Mart.

Let the left eat them up with lawsuits, bad publicity, regulation, unions, etc. Yawn....Wal-Mart? What's that?

THat is talking about carving it into a god and inlaying it with gold and silver, not leaving it as a tree. What self-respecting paganist would worship a tree that will put pine needles in their burbur rug that they would then snag in their foot in July because the Kirby didn't free it from it's velcro grip?

Okay, so what about Christmas. But what about the minimum wage hike they are calling for?

I am forwarding this hilarious picture to many of my beer drinking friends (which is pretty much all of them).

A couple of years ago I was browsing Christmas cards in a Fred Meyer store (West Coast chain, now owned by Krogers), and I didn't see ONE Christmas card with a religious theme.

We're boycotting the socialist "mainstreet" gangs instead of Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart doesn't try to stop new business from being zoned or front fake greenies to stop competitors from doing business.

A google search for "Santa" +"amanita ascera" +"christmas"
turns up links to sites like cannabis culture, and I am shaman, as well as "the physics of christmas", which is a book which says all things Christmas have their roots in psychedelics...

Oh, yeah, I'm sure someone at Walmart, having become enlightened by the book, is sending out letters like this from Corporate-

I am guessing this is a hoax to promote the book, and I'm sorry Bill Donahue bit the apple.

It's a bit odd that neither Chanukah nor Kwanzaa get you to the same "Holiday" page with the same admonition. Discrimination? Maybe. Inconsistency? DEFINITELY!

Not really. There are so many more Christmas items (7970) than there are Channukah (200) or Kwanzaa (88) items. The holiday page is an attempt, by the website, give the customer the most popular "Christmas Items" on one part of the site, without having the customer wade through almost 8000 entries.
