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.
As a non-Christmas-celebrating person, I actually prefer “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays” because what other holidays are we really talking about? No one wishes me “happy holidays” around my tradition’s major holidays or any time it’s not Christmas, so let’s please stop pretending it’s about being inclusive and just enjoy Christmas if you celebrate.
Sorry, no one says “happy holidays” for Thanksgiving. There are numerous religious holidays which happen in the spring too (Easter, Passover, Holi, Nowruz, Ostara, and many more) and no one says “happy holidays” then either.

I mean, I imagine under Nero is was somewhat frowned upon. But since Constantine not really
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.
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).
