While shopping this Christmas you might hear something that was taboo last year:
Merry Christmas!
Wal-mart cites lower sales and customer complaints for the change in their marketing this year. They will encourage employees to say 'Merry Christmas' and even have the word 'Christmas' as part of their ads this year. This proves that we as Americans have a voice. We did not let a few backwards thinkers take Christmas away from us.
It is Christmas on December 25; this year and every year thereafter. Why change it now? For full news stories and press releases click on the links below:
