"Wal-Mart Stores. (WMT, news, msgs) The retail giant, a Dow component, said November same-store sales will decline for the first time in a decade, and the stock fell 2.6% on the day. While retail analysts insisted Wal-Mart has a unique set of problems, retail stocks generally were lower."

So...

Last year they embrace Happy HOlidays and sales are up by about 5.4%

This year they make a big deal about going "Merry Christmas" and they see thir first decline in ten years.

Merry War on Christmas to you too!
