They are trying to corner the "Christmas tree" market and the "Hanukkah bush" market with one product. ;-)
I remember there was a story a few weeks ago regarding Lowe’s sales circular advertising Family Trees instead of Christmas trees. James Dobson and Focus on the Family had a link on their web site showing the circular. Lowe’s apologized and reversed their first decision, saying it was a “proofreading mistake”. Well, I just opened the K-Mart circular in today’s Sunday paper and they are advertising Holiday trees. Nowhere in the circular is there any reference to the word Christmas, not even in their ad for Christmas cards or Christmas area rugs.
If everyone in the U.S. hypothetically were to completely stop shopping for Christmas and decided to stay home, these stores that don’t want to use the word Christmas would go bust immediately. Who do they think is shopping in their stores in November and December? Granted, there are a few people that may be shopping for Hannukah gifts, but it is the Christmas shoppers that keep these stores afloat during this time of the year.
