As the holiday season approaches, the debate over “Happy Holidays” versus “Merry Christmas” intensifies. However, some retailers are boldly embracing the true spirit of Christmas, refusing to give in to political correctness.
The American Family Association (AFA) has identified several stores that proudly celebrate Christmas, and they deserve our recognition and support.
Here are the top retailers that boldly declare “Merry Christmas”:
Hobby Lobby, a Christian-owned business, sets the tone by playing Christian music and closing on Sundays. Their commitment to keeping Christ in Christmas is unwavering.
Belk joins Hobby Lobby in spreading Christmas cheer, unapologetically using the phrase “Merry Christmas” in their marketing.
Nordstrom, a high-end department store, respects the Thanksgiving holiday by delaying Christmas decorations until after Turkey Day. This thoughtful approach ensures employees can enjoy the festivities too.
Home Depot, Wal-Mart, and Lowe’s consistently use the term “Christmas” in their advertising, earning them a spot on the AFA’s list of Christmas-friendly stores.
Macy’s, famous for its iconic Christmas parade, showcases the word “Christmas” prominently in-store and online. Their “Believe” theme is a captivating tribute to the season.
JCPenney, despite past controversies, ensures Christmas remains a central theme in their shopping experience. Bass Pro Shops, with its association with Duck Dynasty, also makes the AFA’s list.
Toys ‘R Us surprisingly tops the list with its extensive use of “Christmas” in marketing, including a popular Christmas catalog.
This holiday season, let’s rally behind these retailers and proudly say “Merry Christmas.” If confronted with “Happy Holidays,” kindly correct others. Together, we can preserve the joy and spirit of Christmas.
By supporting these Christmas champions, we send a powerful message: Christmas is more than just a holiday – it’s a celebration of love, kindness, and faith.
