Good job, Lowe’s.One…

Good job, Lowe’s.

One day after a WorldNetDaily story brought national exposure, the home-improvement retailer Lowe’s dropped references to “Holiday Trees” in favor of “Christmas Trees” only.

As WND reported, a Lowe’s store in Austin, Texas, featured a banner that referred in English to “Holiday Trees” but in Spanish said “Christmas Trees.”

The American Family Association says its supporters contacted Lowe’s to express their displeasure.

The company responded in a statement: “To ensure consistency of our message and to avoid confusion among our customers, we are now referring to the trees only as ‘Christmas Trees.’ We have also removed a banner that read ‘Holiday Trees’ from the front of our stores.”

There’s no need to fear religion in the marketplace. If you’re offended by displays of an even slight religious nature (i.e. calling Christmas trees what they are), you’re in the wrong country. “Free expression” and all that, even by company presidents.

UPDATE: The national Christmas tree has also reassumed its actual name.
