WM and others like it have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders to legally maximize the profits of the company. For them to do anything to cause them to earn less than was possible would be an abrogation of this responsibility and could lead to a shareholder lawsuit.
Some time ago WM along with other retailers began telling their employees to avoid saying Merry Christmas because they feared it would offend some and therefore cost them sales. When they realized the exact opposite was happening and saying Happy Holidays instead WAS costing them sales they went back to wishing the customers a Merry Christmas.
In the business world it is all about bottom line and long as it is done legally it is fine wit me. If the are people who are not happy with the laws as they are then the ought to work at getting them changed.
On a personal level the thought of a Currier and Ives Christmas Literally brings tears to my eyes and I would love to again experience Christmas (I am 67 years old) as I remember it as a child. I, to this day can get misty eyed listening to the traditional Carols song by vocalists of the 40's and 50's, but I am also a realist and understand that living in the past serves little purpose. It is fun to remember though.
Oddly, I just saw those CDs today on sale for $1.79. No kidding.
