Sears- has a "Christmas Shop" on their website
Michael's- extensive use of Christmas
Hobby Lobby- extensive use of Christmas
Kroger- not afraid to use Christmas
Dillards- was advertising a sweater for Christmas as early as this morning on their website, but have gone more generic now
Walmart- not overt, but at least they are using it now Home Shopping Network - 23 days until Christmas
QVC- Christmas Shoppe
Hickory Farms- Christmas gifts
Kirklands- has a Christmas section on their website
Just here for a ready reference
Bill O'Reilly deserves partial credit for this.
Cabela's Hunting Supplies and Ammunition
Website has Christmas specials
John Gibson as well. Do you know of other stores overtly using "Christmas?"
any list showing which stores arent using Christmas?
I've noticed that some of the smaller businesses, locally, use the term "Happy Holidays" in their ads, but only because they're too cheap to have two seperate commercials produced: one for before Christmas and one to run between Christmas and New Years. So they make a one-commercial-fits all commitment.
Hobby Lobby is run by the same people who run Mardel's which is a Christian book store. I found this out when I tried to go there on a Sunday... they are closed.
Nice. In spite of the fact that was my ex-boyfriend's favorite store, I may actually shop there because of how boldly they display the word. (No objections whatsoever to wishing folks happy Hanukkah or Kwanzaa by the way. Just sick of using "Holidays" in place of Christmas).
Lowe's..they sell holiday trees..since they don't have Christmas Trees, I'll have to look elsewhere...
Would be kinda interesting to see what would happen if all of the churches across our land decided to celebrate christmas on April 9th in 2007. :)
Pottery Barn would rather die than say Christmas judging from their website; kmart isn't using it in any overt manner; JC Penney doesn't appear to be using it (at least overtly); Lowes has gotten in trouble for their "holiday Trees" which are "Christmas" trees in Spanish. Target stores aren't using it yet.
yeah their website rules.
puppies in a basket with MERRY CHRISTMAS.
gotta luv it.
I have purchased Christmas trees from Lowe's in the past but I am not going there this year for that very reason.
There's a christmas tree farm about 2 miles from my home. Really cool place where you go out with the family and cut down your own tree. They have bow saws etc there. Covers about half of a square mile and has christmas trees about every 10 feet. Christmas music playing.... etc. It's a fun time.
Hobby Lobby has excellent fake trees.
Often on sale.
Has anybody checked to see if "Christmas Tree Shops" is using the word?
Chances are your local Boy Scout Troop sells good Quality Christmas Trees. Support the Scouts as awl as Christmas.
Happy Shopping!
Bath and Body works (White Barn Candle) has HUGE banners proclaiming 'We Love Christmas!!!'
Target is Anti Salvation Army, Anti Gun, and Anti Christmas. Haven't shopped there in over 10 years.
BTW Target is French owned.
cool! Wanted to get their wonderful smelling Cinnamon candles anyway.
