It sure does make a difference. Last year Target didn't allow S A in the front of its stores, so Wal Mart was smart enough not only to allow S A in the front of its stores but to match dollar for dollar up to one million. Every Christian I know, including myself rush to Wal Mart. Now, Target is forming an alliance with S A to help the needed. Now tell me if the boycott is not effective. I've been in the retail business and I know that it hurt when the sales are down.

Wal-Mart messed up this year as well. They segregated their Christmas items into the PC "holiday" label (other holidays at this point on the calendar were not), greeted customers with "Happy Holidays", and had an employee to reply to an email with a denial of Christmas (brought up the pagan origins of the holiday).

Wal-Mart bends to demands by Catholic League (web site query now changed)

The controversy was sparked when a woman recently complained that Wal-Mart was replacing its "Merry Christmas" greeting with "Happy Holidays."

The woman reportedly received an e-mail response from a customer-service representative, which read: "Walmart is a worldwide organization and must remain conscious of this. The majority of the world still has different practices other than "christmas" which is an ancient tradition that has its roots in Siberian shamanism. The colors associated with "christmas" red and white are actually a representation of of the aminita mascera mushroom. Santa is also borrowed from the Caucuses, mistletoe from the Celts, yule log from the Goths, the time from the Visigoth and the tree from the worship of Baal. It is a wide wide world."

Donohue pointed to the company Web site for an example of discrimination against Christmas. If the word "Hanukkah" was typed in the search engine, 200 retail items were returned. The term "Kwanzaa" returned 77. But when "Christmas" was entered, the message said: "We've brought you to our 'Holiday' page based on your search."

Reportedly the policies at Wal-Mart have been changed back, but they have been guilty of some of the same offenses.
