It's Finally Christmas at Costco

Costco has surrendered in the war against Christmas.

Threatened with a boycott by the American Family Association because its website and stores were almost entirely bereft of any references to Christmas,  Costco reversed course.  The private retail giant now has references to Christmas in its stores and emails to customers, according to the American Family Association.  "Holiday cakes" are now Christmas cakes.

And employees at the private retail giant's corporate offices now answer the phone with "Merry Christmas  from Costco."

Indeed.
