Comment: The greeter at the door was an older gentleman who right away said, "Merry Christmas!!" and did go on to say that Kmart did not have hardly any nativity scenes for sale there. I give the credit mostly to him, although most of the store employees don't shy away from saying "Merry Christmas."

Comment: Because of Kmart's commitment to Christmas, I made a point to purchase a Christmas tree from them rather than other less Christmas friendly stores. I will continue to support Kmart with other purchases, not just during the Christmas season, but throughout the year because of this.

Comment: I tried to find an outdoor nativity scene at Kmart in Clermont, FL. ... I asked the man at the customer service counter if the other Kmart stores had outdoor nativity scenes. He said they didn't because it wasn't political correct. I asked him how it could be incorrect to ask for a nativity scene at CHRISTmas. He said no one else had them either and started naming off stores. I drove down the street to Target and Walgreens. They both had nativity scenes.

Comment: I've been watching their 2009 TV ads about gift shopping and so far all I've seen or heard was "Holiday" this and "Holiday" that. No mention of Christmas or printed word of it. Remember, there would be no "Holiday" if it weren't for the birth of Christ, ergo "Christmas", therefore Christmas shopping, gifts, trees, cards, etc.

Needed help to find a couple items while they were still stocking the shelves and even mentioned Christmas - the young man RAN to get the ad & check the stockroom. The next visit was just as pleasant although my list had nothing to do with Christmas. I made several positive comments about the music, because during both trips the songs playing clearly mentioned Jesus' name!

Comment: I thank you so much for playing Christmas Carols. I, probably like many others, am stressed and tense. When I went in your store to shop, the traditional carols were playing, and it helped me to relax and ease my tension. Partly due to the words, and partly due to feeling that this store, at least, was honoring the reason for the season. I was able to shop for more then my intended purchases, and went back since for more, and will do again, due to this. I am going to make K-Mart my first stop, store of choice.
