Merry Christmas signs decorate the aisles of the Minden Walmart. Store officials say no complaints to remove the signs have been made. | Bruce Franklin/Press-Herald
Christmas trees now decorate each entrance of the Minden Walmart after being taken down over the weekend.
The two large Christmas trees that were at both entrances of the retailer were replaced with smaller trees to make space for customers, according to a spokesperson.
A Facebook post was shared more than 1,000 times Sunday claiming all Christmas décor in the local discount store was being removed after a customer complaint; however, a Walmart spokesperson says that’s not true.

“There were two Christmas trees that were removed for space purposes and that reason only,” Walmart spokesperson Brian Nick said. “Any notion that Christmas decorations are being removed is not right.”
Nick said there are no plans to remove the Merry Christmas signage or any other decor around the store.

This is not what was told to the employees there
Yeah lie you Bastards. You’re just trying to safe your profits.
The district manager made ALL of the stores in his district remove ALL displayed trees and other store decor. It was done because HE DID NOT LIKE IT. This is bull! A company that stands for nothing deserves nothing
They also took down the trees at the Ruston store because the Regional told them to. It had nothing to do with a customer complaint. The customers of the Ruston store have been calling the store manager and home office to complain about them being removed at all.
Jonesboro walmart also I believe. This is crazy!!
I’ve never understood Chstristians attachment to these things. I’m all for celebrating the birth of Jesus but Biblically speaking it wasn’t in the winter and as for decorated trees I’m reminded of the words of Jeremiah.
(Jeremiah 10:1-5)
“Do not learn the ways of the nations
or be terrified by signs in the heavens,
though the nations are terrified by them.
3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.
5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field,
their idols cannot speak;
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm
nor can they do any good.”
Just seems funny to me, that on any given day when you walk into Minden Wal Mart, there is ALWAYS something in the middle of that walkway, I dont remember EVER seeing it bare like the picture…. foot traffic my foot!!
