This holiday season, ten major retailers have made a bold move by replacing the generic “Happy Holidays” with the more traditional “Merry Christmas.” This shift reflects their commitment to celebrating Christmas and marks a clear change in their holiday messaging.
Stores like Hobby Lobby, Belk, Nordstrom, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Macy’s, JCPenney, Bass Pro Shops, Lowe’s, and Toys ‘R Us are all prominently using “Merry Christmas” in their ads and store displays. This collective effort to bring back the classic Christmas greeting stands out amid the usual holiday buzz.
So, whether you’re out shopping or just spreading holiday cheer, don’t hesitate to say “Merry Christmas.” If a store clerk greets you with “Happy Holidays,” kindly return the festive greeting. Let’s keep the Christmas spirit alive, wherever we go!
