Putting Christmas Back In....Christmas

One major retailer didn't like the boycotts they experienced last year when they changed "Christmas" to "Holiday". They've decided to fix it - big time - this year (from Special Report):

"Holidays" Out, "Christmas" In

The folks at Wal-Mart are putting Christmas back into the holidays in a big way. Wal-Mart announced today that it will use "Merry Christmas" — "early and often" this season. Last year Wal-Mart and other retailers were boycotted by some groups because they downplayed Christmas in favor of a generic and politically correct "holiday" theme.

But a Wal-Mart spokeswoman says the company learned its lesson — and will have what's described as an "in-your-face" Christmas theme this year — featuring Christmas music over the loudspeakers and signs that count down the days until Christmas.

Smart move.
