---Have you been to their website and done searches on Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Christmas?

Which ones takes you directlyto what you are looking for and which one takes you to the "politically correct" page?---

Yes, I have. Here's what it says:

"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"."

So here's the deal: They created as special page for the holidays keyed to the popular search term 'Christmas'. In case you have no experience in retailing, a page like this lets you sell your most popular items and create a layout so people can easily find what they're looking for. And it's damn near a necessity when they have 8,000 specialty items to choose from.

This avoids confronting customers with a list of nearly EIGHT THOUSAND items to look through! And they DON'T do the same thing for Kwanzaa or Hanukkah. So which holiday are the discriminating against there? Oh, and they still offer a link to the nearly 8,000 search results (compared the 77 and 200) in case you want to look for them.

So why would they create this page keyed to 'Christmas'? Because it's a pain in the butt to look through 8,000 items online. IT'S A SMART BUSINESS MOVE!!! Just like amazon does with it's various special pages for Christmas (oh wait, they use 'holidays', too! BOYCOTT!!!)

Amazon has a link to it on the front page. Walmart doesn't. So they keyed it to hit there when people search for "christmas". Wow, how offensive. They're engaging in intelligent web site design. BLASPHEMERS!!!
