Wal-Mart employee wants to say "Merry Christmas'


I am writing to you today about the word "Merry Christmas." It is my concern that will all negative ideas and things people are saying they are just not true. The main concern of mine is that some people are saying Wal-Mart employee shouldn't say Merry Christmas anymore. Supposing this came down from the main office, that is so not true. No one has told me or any other Wal-Mart employee not to say Merry Christmas. In fact they encourage us to say "Merry Christmas," during the holidays. In some people it makes a difference. It cheers them up and makes the people feel better. It might even save a life, when some people are depressed, have lost a family member, or what ever the problem may be. So, as a Wal-Mart employee, I would like to say that we want to say "Merry Christmas," will, and always have said "Merry Christmas" to every one. If we maybe forget, just say Merry Christmas to us, and we will say to back to you. Our customers are number 1 to us and always will be. So, as a Wal-Mart employee I wish everyone a "Merry Christmas" and have a wonderful shopping season. "Merry Christmas" from you Enid Wal-Mart!
