It's such a ridiculous kind of fake self persecution. No one gets in trouble for saying "Merry Christmas." Some people choose to say other things that are more inclusive, like "Happy Holidays." One person saying "Happy Holidays" doesn't prevent another person from saying "Merry Christmas."

The war on Christmas will continue until it refrains from the occupation of November.
November? They had Christmas stuff out at Costco in September this year!
Has anyone, anywhere, at any point in time faced any consequences at all for saying merry Christmas?
It started because corporations offered guidance to their retail employees that shoppers preferred "Happy Holidays" because it was more inclusive. Retail drones were told what to say, and when Christians got wind of it, they lost their collective brain cell.
So those Christians spend December berating retail workers being paid so little they're forced to rely on food stamps for saying the wrong thing while imagining themselves free speech warriors.
As a kid, I always thought it was because it was shorter than "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," which was very common until the proliferation of "Happy Holidays" where I grew up. I have to imagine retail employees were glad to cut in half their mandatory goodbye phrase regardless of the reason.
I'm an atheist and ethnically Jewish and I've never enjoyed Christmas. If anyone would be attacking anyone for saying, "Merry Christmas," it would be me.
When someone says "Merry Christmas" to me, my usual response is, "thanks, you too."
Because, unlike Conservatives (apparently), I'm okay with people saying something I don't agree with when they're just trying to be friendly.
I mean, I imagine under Nero is was somewhat frowned upon. But since Constantine not really
You can’t say the C-h word, yet there it is, spelled out your comic? (*side eye*)
"You can say it. That word you want to say it. I'll say it with you. Let's all say it together. N.... n... come on. All together now."
The war on Christmas will end when Christmas stops encroaching upon November.
Christmas is permitted only up to, and no earlier than, the day after Thanksgiving.
Any earlier and you might as well have Halloween in January.
It's weird - in all the years that I've been seeing and hearing this stuff about this "war on Christmas," the one thing I've never seen or even heard of is anybody actually being punished in any way for saying "Merry Christmas."
Well of course, because for all intents and purposes nobody is going to care if you tell them Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays, because everyone understands the intent.
The only people who think there's a war on Christmas also think not being allowed to enforce their theocracy means they're being oppressed.
The head canons are insane lmfao.
If a progressive school is sending you to the office for saying Christmas, they’re probably just going to have a chat about being more progressive with our well wishes to include everyone.
You wanna exclude people that’s fine, but don’t label the people trying to be the most kind as insane or assholes. lol.
A progressive school wouldn’t even do that in the first place, because it’s the surest way to get the ever living shit sued out of you over 1A because of one disgruntled parent
Why say S-h word instead of just S word? Is there an S word I'm forgetting that they felt the need to differentiate from?
Could be slut or even sucks (remember some adults getting upset at that for some reason).
My kid came home from school saying he'd got into trouble for saying the S word. After much cajoling I got him to tell me what it was: "stupid"
I almost didn’t notice this was “religiouscringe”. I was wondering why this shit got posted, and was a split second away from downvoting.
Shikaka!
