So far the score in the War on Christmas goes something like this:

Number of people who've told me the PC police will yell at anyone who says "Merry Christmas": 3
Number of times I've been yelled at for saying Merry Christmas: 0
Number of attorneys ready to file suits against people who substitute "Happy Holidays" for "Merry Christmas": 1550
Number of ACLU employees in the main New York office: 170 (in 2002)

Merry Christmas!

*grins* Merry Christmas, you.

"Putting the Christ back into Christmas." Truer words have never been spoken by the religious right, since the damn holiday is a co-opted Roman holiday.

And a Happy Saturnalia to you, good sir.

Money changers in the temple. Money changers in the temple. Does this mean I get to start trashing banks with impunity?

I'm all for inclusion. But Jews and Muslims and Buddhists don't do trees. There aren't all that many actual pagans in this country and those there are would prefer we not cut the trees down. How does calling it a "holiday tree" make it any more inclusive? It's a Christmas tree already, even if you don't celebrate Christmas. I'm just glad the good people of Nova Scotia (who give us a tree every year in thanks for helping out in a disaster 80-odd years ago) had the sense to insist that we call it a Christmas tree.

Sure. You just can't keep the money. ;)

In the truest spirit, the war on christmas is yet another manufactured war to make sure the soldiers have something to fight against. Yawn. Bored of fake war.

Merry Christmas to you, too!

It's had an effect on me. I used to wish people 'Merry Christmas'. Now I wish them 'Happy Holidays' specifically because it raises the blood pressure of wingnuts.

Therefore: happy holidays.

As my father would say: "Merry F**king Christmas"
