Wal-Mart, the RVer's friend (at least in those cities which allow it ) seems to have decided that Christmas is too insulting to support any longer. I heard a rumor that this year Sam's Club would only carry 'holiday' merchandise, and a call to Wal-Mart seems to confirm this for both Sam's and Wal-Mart.
I find it unfortuate, but understandable, that a handful of what seem to be vocal loonies can wreck things for the silent majority. I am into big Christmas light displays, and will find it difficult to increase my supplies if Wal-Mart is no longer an option. However, unless I can find a valid reason why Christmas merchandise is a bad thing, I can no longer shop at Wal-Mart (even if they happen to have 'holiday' lights which are indistiguishable from Christmas lights).
If you find this decision disturbing, you may want to cease being silent and notify Wal-Mart that this decision was unwise, and will cost them some or all of your business as you feel appropriate.
Of course, if you do find the concept of Christmas merchandise 'offensive', I'd love to find out why.
