As the holiday season approaches, a growing number of retailers are boldly embracing Christmas, refusing to cave to pressure to use more generic greetings. The American Family Association (AFA) has identified several stores that proudly promote and celebrate Christmas.
Leading the charge is Hobby Lobby, renowned for its strong Christian values and commitment to keeping Christ at the center of Christmas. Other top-rated stores include Belk, Nordstrom, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart, all earning the AFA’s prestigious “5-Star” rating.
Nordstrom stands out for its thoughtful approach, delaying Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving to respect its employees’ holiday time. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart has consistently demonstrated its dedication to promoting Christmas.
Other notable retailers on the list include Macy’s, famous for its annual parade, and JCPenney, which has maintained a strong Christmas theme in its stores and online. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Bass Pro Shops and Lowe’s, both proudly embracing Christmas spirit.
Even Toys ‘R Us has joined the ranks, featuring a Christmas catalog and prominently displaying the word “Christmas” on its website.
As consumers, we have the power to support these retailers and express our appreciation for their commitment to celebrating Christmas. By using the phrase “Merry Christmas” and encouraging store clerks to do the same, we can help spread holiday cheer.
