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.

    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.

    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.

    The war on Christmas will end when Christmas stops encroaching upon November.

    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.

    They had to make it a comic because it just doesn’t happen otherwise

    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.

    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?
