As the holiday season approaches, the debate over “Happy Holidays” versus “Merry Christmas” intensifies. But amidst the controversy, some retailers boldly stand up for the true meaning of Christmas.
The American Family Association (AFA) has identified several stores that proudly proclaim “Merry Christmas,” defying the pressure of political correctness. These Christmas champions deserve our recognition and support.
Let’s applaud these retailers for unapologetically embracing the Christmas spirit:
Hobby Lobby, a stalwart advocate for Christian values, sets the tone with its festive atmosphere and commitment to keeping Christ in Christmas.
Belk joins Hobby Lobby in spreading Christmas cheer, eschewing generic greetings for the authentic “Merry Christmas” message.
Nordstrom, a high-end department store, respects the Thanksgiving holiday before transitioning to Christmas decorations, ensuring employees can enjoy the festivities too.
Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Lowe’s consistently use the term “Christmas,” earning them top spots on the AFA’s list.
Macy’s, famous for its iconic Christmas parade, extends its holiday spirit throughout its stores and online platforms.
JCPenney and Bass Pro Shops also make the cut, proudly promoting Christmas and earning the AFA’s seal of approval.
Toys ‘R Us rounds out the list, showcasing the word “Christmas” prominently and offering a coveted Christmas catalog.
This holiday season, let’s rally behind these retailers and proudly declare “Merry Christmas.” If confronted with “Happy Holidays,” kindly correct the narrative. Together, we can preserve the joy and spirit of Christmas.
By supporting these courageous retailers, we send a resounding message: Christmas is more than a holiday – it’s a celebration of faith, family, and tradition.
Share this inspiring story with your friends and family, and let’s make this Christmas season one to remember!
