PHOTONETDAILY 'Christmas' trees vs. 'Holiday' trees Banner at Lowe's store in Texas changes message in translation Posted: November 27, 2005 4:55 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily.com
As the battle over Christmas continues across America this year, consumers are taking notice for themselves.
In Austin, Texas, for instance, a banner was displayed this weekend at a new Lowe's home-improvement store.
In English, the sign reads: "Now Here! Fresh Cut Holiday Trees." But in Spanish, the sign reads: "Now Here! Fresh Cut Christmas Trees." "It's OK to offend all the English-speaking Christians, but no, not the Spanish speakers. They may be just visiting," a WorldNetDaily reader in Austin said. "By the way," the reader noted, "they only had 'Christmas' tree stands for their fresh cut 'Holiday' trees. P.S. Merry Christmas."
