Comment: I work at Lowe's and Christmas is everywhere. From advertisments, signage throughout the store and plenty of decorations. Even several nativity scenes to purchase. Never have I ever been restricted in saying Merry Christmas to our customrs and I work in customer services as a cashier.

Comment: At checkout the clerk asked if I was ready for Christmas. I smiled and said, "No, but I'm just glad Jesus came. She responded, "...and that He is coming again." I agreed ...We then wished each other a Merry Christmas. I left smiling and looking for Christ's second Advent!

Comment: Just received a Lowe's mailer with a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations with the title "Gifts for every wish list." Inside were two discount cards with the title "Holiday Project Starter" on them. Clearly they just want to use "Holiday" decorations ...

Comment: I asked one of the check out clerks about the store's policy of no Merry Christmas being allowed to be said to the customers and she said it was horrible and she disagreed with the policy..I said Merry Christmas and she returned it in a low tone manner where the management could not hear her..If Lowes changes this anti-Christmas policy, I will return to shop there, if not, I will shop elsewhee..

Comment: I have noticed that a lot of the Christmas decor for sale this year is more of the Santa and reindeer theme, instead of the nativity. I have been to two different Lowe's stores trying to buy a luminated Angel to put in the yard and could not find one. I just found deer, snowmen, and tacky inflatable scenes. But I did find a manger scene @ both stores for sale on top of shelf's about 25' in the air.

Comment: This store amazed me. They had many Christmas items including the largest almost life-size Nativity scene I've ever seen in ANY retail store. They also had a few Merry Christmas signs relating to the items on sale. I give this store the best rating of ALL the ones I shop in. Very customer friendly. Bought my Christmas tree there for that very reason.

Comment: It was encouraging to see the words "Christmas Trees" in our local Lowes store here in Sanford, FL. Christmas music was playing, and there were some nativities among the decorations as well. Perhaps it depends on the individual stores, so maybe we should give our positive comments of appreciation to them personally as well.

Comment: I don't know whether they used "Christmas" anywhere, but I was thrilled to see two large manger scene yard decorations and a Noah's ark yard decoration for sale. Last year Jesus-centered decorations were almost completely non-existent. I'm actually much more upset by the "Santa-fication" of Christmas than the absence of the word Christmas in greetings and advertisements.

Comment: As a Lowe's associate at no point in time have we gotten an email or was directed by management to NOT say Merry CHRISTmas. I have worked for them for 15 years and have never had a problem and every chance I get I wish the customer a Merry CHRISTmas. Lowes plays CHRISTmas Music and on occasion Christian songs the last few years. They have CHRISTmas trees and some stuff that says holiday on their packaging.

Comment: The clerk that waited on me was nice and friendly andloved the fact that I was wearing a Christmas sweater. We discussed that we need to be mindful of this time of year. I for one am glad that I can voice my feelings about my savior Jesus Christ. It is his birthday that we're celebrating and not a holiday. God Bless and Merry Christmas
