'Tis the season - for all to come together and be charitable and even generous - unless you are from Arizona, and a bell ringer posted in front of a Walmart (where else?) and you choose the wrong greeting.

According to WPTV, Kristina Vindiola says a woman hit her outside a Phoenix Walmart after she said "Happy Holidays."

"The lady looked at me,” said Vindiola. “I thought she was going to put money in the kettle. She came up to me and said, 'Do you believe in God?' And she says, ‘You're supposed to say Merry Christmas,' and that's when she hit me."



The Salvation Army says it doesn't have a policy as to what its bell ringers should say, they can say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays."

Phoenix police looked at surveillance video but didn't have enough evidence to arrest the woman accused in the assault.
