replacing “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays” is the trend now among retailers and businesses big and small. Is Wall Mart doing it? I don't know, but if you boycott them because of it then you better be willing to cut out most of your shopping, flying, hotel stays, eating out, etc.

This is just another pick on Wall Mart story.

I don't think so. If they directed all of their clients of various faiths and beliefs to the Holiday page, I would believe it's pick on WalMart time. However, the poster is correct - you can find Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Ramadan, but no match for Christmas. It's not inclusive, it's discriminatory.

I'll shop somewhere else, thank you. And, I told them so.

I don't think a boycott will work necessarily, but if they have some cranky ex-customers, they may rethink their position.

Wal-Mart has been caving to political correctness lately. How about that call for a raise in the minimum wage? Why can't they simply pay their employees more without demanding that government force it on everyone? And that's just two of several things. If Wal-Mart caves to the left, then they can lie by the left. The truth is, the left wants to either control or destroy Wal-Mart. As long as the company seeks neither, they have my support. But if they give up partial control (as it appears they are beginning to do) in an effort to appease the left, then my loyalty is gone.
