"Merry Christmas" Is Preferred Seasonal Greeting; Wal-Mart Stores Refuse to Use Word "Christmas"

In a recent national survey of 1,000 respondents, 69 percent answered that they preferred to see the holiday retail signs with the greeting "Merry Christmas" over "Happy Holidays," the Christian Post website reports today (December 3. 2010).

Liberty Counsel President Mathew Staver said the results to the November poll corresponds to what he has been saying all along. "People enjoy Christmas," he stated.

Staver believes some stores limit their use of Christmas because "they felt it would offend a minority of shoppers."

Wal-Mart was among the worst offenders for refusing to use the word "Christmas." Wal-Mart went so far as to tell its employees not to return a greeting of "Merry Christmas" even if it was said by a customer," Staver stated.
