When I wrote that I was thinking of Kwanza in particular because that's what the poster brought up, no offense to Hanukkah was intended.
But from a retail sales perspective, I think even Hanukkah is not on the scale of Christmas.
Lets remember the point, OK? The thread alledged that WalMart had banned mention of Christmas.... It's not only a wacky and suicidal idea for a store like WalMart, it didn't turn out to be true.
No, they didn't "ban" Christmas. But they do redirect you to the "Holiday" page, and that is not done for any other holiday search term. When it comes down to it, the "Holiday" buffer page adds an EXTRA step to the process rather than expedite it.
Beyond all the brouhaha, this is simply a matter of opinion. To those whom it matters, they will let their voice be known, as any other American is free to do. To those to whom it doesn't matter, they will do nothing. Both persons are simply exercising their rights, and it doesn't offend me for them to do as they wish either way. Perhaps it really DOESN'T matter either way -
But IF it doesn't matter either way, then it certainly won't hurt for Wal-Mart to simply call the "Holiday" "Christmas" either...
My head hurts. I need some Holiday generic potato pancakes... or maybe some Holiday generic egg drink with nog...
