CYA, nothing more. I’ll bet they’re redoing their tv and radio ads as we speak.

Yeah I bet the reps at Lowes are cursing Christians under their breath for making a big deal about it.

Actually, we got to see the Lowe's Christmas TV ads about five or six weeks ago during one of our manager's meetings, and the folks at Corporate Office specifically said that the word Christmas was going to be used. The catalogs are made by a company that Lowe's has a contract with, so the culprit who missed this isn't even a Lowe's employee. We started receiving all of our Christmas signage back around Labor Day, and all of it says "Merry Christmas".

Last year, during all of this Happy Holiday fiasco, our store was visited by the Regional Manager and his staff. I had a bucket of miniature candy canes sitting on the electrical desk with a sign proclaiming "Merry Christmas". The regional and district managers both commented that it was a good idea, snatched a piece of peppermint, and continued with their tour of the store.
