Coming out of Trader Joe's tonight I was happy to see a familiar Salvation Army sign, pot and bell-ringer. She was saying 'Merry Christmas' to customers going in and coming out. I stopped to chat with her expressing I was glad to see her there, and asked how it was going this year as far as which stores are refusing to let them 'ring' out in front of. "Target Stores, again, and Safeway. Safeway hasn't let us ring there for a few years now."
FOX News' Bill O'Reilly gave the list of the stores this year so far which are 'Merry Christmas' friendly stores and those which are not. As you will see Macy's which chose last year to ban their employees from saying Merry Christmas, or the term used in any advertising has done a turn-around this year. Guess they learned their lesson from the pressure Christmas-loving media and customers applied.
"Merry Christmas" friendly stores:
Macy's
Penney's
Bloomingdale's
Dillard's
Anti "Merry Christmas" stores:
Sears
WalMart
K-Mart
Target
Kohl's
Costco
BJ's
KB Toys
FAO Schwarz
Let your feet & pocketbook do the talking!
Also, in case you haven't heard, the Liberty Counsel has developed a "Friend or Foe" program where they will talk with cities, etc., that have put a ban on Christmas in any form, such as Boston dis-allowing calling the annual city tree a Christmas tree, but rather now a 'winter tree.' If in such situations they will reverse their ban they will become a 'Friend', if not a, Foe' and be sued.
