And of course there are the intentionally obtuse, who shoot the messenger rather than look at the message.
Fact: Walmart has altered its marketing to accomodate the politicallly correct crowd (which you seem to accept as positive).
Fact: Searches on Walmart's website for Kwanzaa and Hanukkah go directly to the items you are lookingfor. Apparently this is politically correct.
Fact: Searching for Christmas at walmart.com doesn't take you to the items you are looking for, but, instead, takes you to the reeducation page.
Face it: You favor the politcally correct phrase: Holiday, and I don't.

Fact: It's an outright lie when you wrote "It is an absolute shame that Walmart will give in to the multicultural notion that, in the pursuit of multiculturalism, says the only holiday you cannot specifically mention is Christmas"
They didn't do that. When asked about it, you changed the subject.
Fact: You are revealing you have absolutely no clue about retailing.
Fact: They are giving MORE service to the people who search for 'Christmas' than they are for the ones who search for 'Hanukkah' or 'Kwanzaa'.
Fact: You have no clue about what my position is on using "holidays" vs "Christmas". But that doesn't stop you from making false assumptions, which seems to be your style.
Opinion: I don't think you could honestly debate this subject if you were paid to do it.

We've brought you to our "Holiday " page based on your search. Not what you're looking for? View a list of items that match your search for "christmas". Copied directly, they put the word Holiday in qoutes.

And of course there are the intentionally obtuse, Better watch out how you use that word "obtuse", it got Andy Dufresne 30 days in solitary when he used it on Warden Norton in the Shawshank Redemption.

The Wal-mart people in my town where I love Jesus pins and say have a blessed day or what ever they want to, so I will be very surprised if I do not hear a lot of Merry Christmas's soon.

You are full of it. Below is the result of the simple Christmas Search on the Walmart site:
Search Entire Site Apparel Baby Books Electronics Gifts and Flowers Garden and Patio For the Home Jewelry Movies Music Photo Center Sports Toys Video Games Pets Vision Center for:
7967 items found for Christmas
My 4 year old grandson could do this search:
1. go to Walmart Web Site: http://www.walmart.com/
2. enter Christmas in the search section
Yeah Taipan, Walmart has abandoned Christmas. There are only 7,967 Christmas links.
Admin Moderator and Jim Robinson, do we have a anti Walmart MD4Bush here?
