    Wal-Mart opts for ‘Christmas’ marketing

    Wal-Mart opts for ‘Christmas’ marketing
    It won't be 'happy holidays' this year; it will be 'Merry Christmas'!!

    BENTONVILLE, Ark. - It is beginning to look a lot more like Christmas at Wal-Mart.

    This holiday season, Wal-Mart isn’t trumpeting big bargains only. It’s also bringing “Christmas” back into its marketing, after several years of playing down the term.

    Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s Christmas cheer seems to be a hot trend this season as several other retailers including Kohl’s Corp. and Macy’s, a division of Federated Department Stores Inc., are also stepping up their Christmas marketing. The moves respond to mounting criticism from religious groups that staged boycotts against Wal-Mart and other merchants after they eliminated or de-emphasized “Christmas” in their advertising.

    Leave it to the religious right to boycott cause it doesn't say Merry Christmas. Now they'll have to deal with Jews boycotting because of it.

    I don't ever recall that happening... But don't worry, I'm sure you'll still be able to buy a 'holiday tree" Carlos.
