'Tis the season to be jolly -- and if you're a clever supermarket operator, to deck your halls with creative promotions. The German supermarket Edeka got into the spirit with a viral video featuring its cashiers scanning "Jingle Bells."
The music continues at both H-E-B and Food Lion. H-E-B's “Joyville” website provides holiday recipes, a gift guide, and free holiday music downloads from Texas honky-tonk artist Jack Ingram.
So fun to be in #texas for lots of reasons including hearing @JackIngram on @HEB holiday commercials :) #hollyjolly #loveyouhoney ;)
