Several major retail stores, including Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Nordstrom, Home Depot, and even Bass Pro Shops, are making a shift this season by replacing the generic “Happy Holidays” with the traditional “Merry Christmas.” This synchronized effort has been praised by groups like the American Family Association and the public for embracing the true spirit of the holiday season.

These retailers aim to revive the traditional greeting and foster a sense of unity, strengthening the holiday cheer across the country. This movement is seen as a way to bring back the warmth and joy of Christmas, encouraging shoppers to spread festive cheer wherever they go.
