Christmas is the time when we celebrate the birth of Christ. This is a holiday that has been around for generations, however, a holiday that seems to be rapidly dying off because of the "politically correct" crowd. However, as many retailers have been taking heat for trying not to offend anyone by substituting "Holiday" for "Christmas". Such as the "Holiday tree" versus "the Christmas tree."
Wal-Mart on the other hand, is taking a different approach this year.
"We, quite frankly, have learned a lesson from last year," says Wal-Mart spokeswoman Linda Blakley. [Referring to be outrage and boycotts of last year [lifesite]-- ] "We're not afraid to use the term 'Merry Christmas.' We'll use it early, and we'll use it often
This decision was met with applause when Wal-Mart informed its 7000 associates of it's plans at a conference last month.

Deck the halls with Wal-Mart holly,
follow all the way to the register.
Keep the change for fries and burgers,
cause you'll be broke till next year!
Before you rush right out to shop the suddenly "enlightened" Wal-Mart please check out my thoughts on the issue at my blog.
Of course for Wally World is all about the money, but for me I am happy to hear people wishing me a merry Christmas.
As a kid growing up, we were bombarded constantly by cartoons whose theme was saving Christmas. Of course, I never really gave it much thought at the time that Christmas would actually be threatened or than anybody could even be offended by the word "Christmas" so much so that they would try to cancel it for everybody.
However, I will bet that you'll never hear those people complain about having a paid holiday

Last year the EPA alone issued $2.5 trillion worth of regulations on American business, and you wonder why they are going off shore to manufacture things. If you are going to bring up your working class piece, which I am not disagreeing with, but try and be balanced with your argument.
