If you tell me the name of one retailer(besides a Christian bookstore) that promotes embraces Christmas, I'll do my shopping there. I don't think wal-mart is alone.
You re correct. Until a few yrs. ago it was Merry Christmas, Christmas Tree, etc.
Suddenly it's Holiday, Holiday Season, Holiday tree.
My shopping is Christmas shopping not Holiday shopping .
I erect a Christmas tree, not the other thing.
I'll spend my money where the merchant says Merry Christmas.
Cabela's and LL Bean's catalog have Merry Christmas on the front and just might get all my business.
