BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- In the days of yore, families gathered 'round the Christmas table to feast on home-cooked roasted goose, oyster stuffing, plum pudding, and plenty of wassail. But times have changed, and so has traditional holiday fare, according to results of a new national survey recently conducted for Wal-Mart, based here.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. - Julie Roehm, the s.v.p. of marketing who abruptly left Wal-Mart after making a switch to a new ad agency, was actually fired for allegedly accepting gifts from ad agencies and maintaining a personal relationship with a subordinate, according to published reports. Roehm has denied the allegations.
