that they will be fired for saying "Merry Christmas?"
I heard that and from now on my shopping will be done at TARGET stores who use "Merry Christmas" in their stores and their commercials on TV.

Sounds like this is true.
"Best Buy, however, is an unapologetically 'happy holidays' kind of place, which has earned it a spot on the Catholic League's watch list."

Interesting! I know that there is an issue of political correctness that has come up; the use of phrases like "Merry Christmas" are viewed as Christian-based. Many feel that we as a society need to be understanding of other cultures and beliefs, so many are using the phrase, "Happy Holidays" instead. I have heard similar (yet fewer) complaints about the term, "X-Mas."

Rumors are floated by a lot of vested interests.
Check with an employee of Best Buy if this is true. Go to www.bestbuy.com, send them a query and get the answer from the horses mouth.

Is your source reliable? Other retailers like WalMart seem to be headed in the opposite direction (Christmas music, etc.)

Apparently they HAVE gone to "Happy Holidays" as their phrase that pays. I am not sure they would fire a person though.
