Comment: I went to the local JC Penney store to buy two Christmas presents. I did not see a single sign in the store promoting Christmas. I took my money elsewhere where there were signs acknowledging Christmas. Thank you for your website.

Comment: Store decorations were very festive & Christmas music was playing. A definite contrast to the rest of the mall, which was completely devoid of decorations this year. I wished each Penney associate a "Merry Christmas" and they responded warmly in kind. Generally a good experience. I think that JC Penney "gets it".

Comment: I went in to buy a gift card. None of the gift cards said Merry Christmas, only Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings or nothing. They really do need to have at least one that says Merry Christmas. Also, the sales clerk could not say Merry Christmas.

Comment: I shoppped in a JCPenny in Tucson. I purchased a gift card and could not find one that said Merry Christmas but they had Kwanza and Hanakuh cards. I told the clerk I would have spent more if they had a card that said "Merry Christmas" Dissapointed that they included other names and not Christmas.

Comment: Twice, when I was in the Edgewater Mall store in Biloxi, MS, clerks greated me with "Happy Holidays". I looked them in the eyes and with a kind smile wished them "Merry Christmas". In both instances, they relaxed and said "thank-you" with a returning smile. Had they been instructed to say "Happpy Holidays" but would have preferred not to? I don't know.

Comment: Christmas music, red and green ornaments all throughout the store however, there is no mention or signs of Merry Christmas anywhere in the store. My wife and I advised JC Penny personnel of this and also mention that "Merry Christmas is the reason for the season" and we were told that their employees cannot say Merry Christmas as to not offend anyone. We feel that as Christian's we are offended by this and therefore we will no longer be doing any shopping at JC Penny. Merry Christmas

We heard great Christian worship music and Christmas carols as we shopped. It was the best shopping experience we have had in years. A Salvation Army kettle was outside the store as well.

Not to mention the Salvation Army has always been welcome and they are helping with the Angel Tree this year. You buy the gifts and they ship them for FREE to the Salvation Army of your choice.

Comment: The clerks at our Penney's store are handing out fliers telling us about their joining together with the Salvation Army to provide for needy children and elderly. I couldn't find "Christmas" on the page, but joining up with the Salvation Army to provide gifts "implies" Christmas. Also, the site notes that "You can also support The Salvation Army by donating to the Red Kettle located outside many JCPenney and other stores this holiday season." Okay... "holiday season", but tying gifts with the Salvation Army makes it pretty obvious which holiday we're talking about. http://angel.jcpenney.com/

Comment: I was so disappointed to walk into our JCP only to come face-to-face immediately with shirts emblazoned with skulls, crossbones, flames, dragons & all sorts of evil images. Amazingly, the nearby girls section featured similar emblems. No mention of Christmas. Left me feeling saddened, heavy-hearted & ready to get out of the store. I now enter the mall through another store to avoid the "downer" of the celebration of death & evil I see when I enter thru JCP.

Comment: I was impressed to recieve an email from JCPenney saying they believe in angels. I still see no wishes for a Merry Christmas but they are advertising having an angel tree and to help the needy. They are also supportive of the Salvation Army and are carrying several nativity sets. I would still say they are a bit negligent in not having the word Christmas on their site that I can find. I am less likely to shop with them than someone who clearly stands up for Christmas...take another step JCPenney!

Comment: JC Penny's catalog is Christmas friendly. It is late November but their emails mention Holiday Sale and Gift giving but no mention of Christmas. Please celebrate Christmas with the millions of Americans like myself who celebrate on December 25th - Christmas

Comment: I was glad to see JCPenny's supporting the Salvation Army Angel Tree giving program, however I was confused by the description of the program, which stated that it's goal was to "provide holiday gifts" to children in need. I did not see what "holiday" they were providing gifts for, so unfortunately, I'll be unable to patronize their store this "holiday" known as Christmas. There was also no mention of Christmas elsewhere on their website, "holiday fleece" and other "holiday" wear but not Christmas.
