Happy pagan interlude

Silly Wal-Mart is bringing back Christmas:

Wal-Mart has told its employees that it's OK to once again greet shoppers by saying "Merry Christmas" this holiday season instead of the generic "Happy Holidays."

CNN confirmed that Wal-Mart will announce Thursday that it plans to use the phrase "Merry Christmas" in products and around its stores this holiday season.

The announcement comes a year after religious groups such as The American Family Association and The Catholic League boycotted retailers including Wal-Mart last holiday season for excluding the word "Christmas" from products sold in stores.

Hasn't Wal-Mart heard that the mean old social conservatives just got kicked out of Washington? Go ahead and tell your customers "Happy pagan interlude" if you want to.
