...should they say "Merry christmas" and "Happy Hannukah", instead?
WalMart is largely owned by a Christain family (I know it is publicly traded), and supports the Salvation Army. I have no problems with "happy holidays", since there IS more than one.
As a Christian, I have much more of a problem with all the EXCESSIVE spending on gifts for others, when celebrating His birthday! It has become a party time, not a worship time.
Jesus would be running around with a whip!
Maybe we should e-mail Wal-Mart and ask them to start saying Merry Christmas.
Maybe we should go to church and thank God for sending Jesus!
