It is beginning to look a lot more like Christmas at Wal-Mart. This holiday season, Wal-Mart is bringing "Christmas" back into its marketing, after several years of playing down the term. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s Christmas cheer seems to be a hot trend this season as several other retailers, including Kohl’s Corp. and Macy’s are also stepping up their Christmas marketing.
