Sorry, I haven't posted this morning. I was in CPR and First Aid Training all day at the Gwinnett County Fire Department. Great class. Anyway...
So I'm driving home, thinking about getting Selah's lay-away out of Wal-Mart early to get ahead of Christmas shopping for once. And notice something different in the store. No "Merry Christmas."
That's right. According to Wallyworld's PR people and every local television station, Walmart has adopted "Happy Holidays" as its new slogan over "Merry Christmas." So that it's non-Christian customers will not be offended. Great move. I understand their position on a business standpoint. So I hope they understood mine when I closed my lay-away today. 85% of this country is Christian or at least believe in Christ, so I beg to ponder how business savvy this move is. My only hope is that more Christians put their money where Christ would be shopping for Mary and Joseph, if he lived in 2005.

Good for you. I agree. We're doing the same thing here in New York!
That's awesome!
I agree with you, but your ending made me smile. Where would Jesus shop? :-)
I think Jesus would shop at the local Christian Bookstore :-)
Christian bookstores are a tad more costly, but Christ, of course, wouldn't care about that now would he. My favorite gift shop is costlier, but the gifts are one of a kind.
