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.
That’s too early. Christmas can start on December 1.
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!
You can’t say the C-h word, yet there it is, spelled out your comic? (*side eye*)
If you are comparing the worse-ness of two words and you won’t even write one of them, that’s the worse word
“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.”
Remind me what this is from? It’s a quote from somebody… A comedian? A nighttime political comedy show?
John Mulaney
Yup, talking about a producer, IIRC, telling him that the word “midget” was as bad as saying the “n-word”
“No Billy, you bullied a Jewish student for celebrating Hanukkah”
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.”
Manufactured Victimization
Republicans in a nutshell
But holiday tidings are a zero sum game!
Yes, if you’re happier, I must be less happy.
They had to make it a comic because it just doesn’t happen otherwise
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.
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.
Here we go again
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!
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.

Yeah, even if you ignore everything but the Christian holidays because you’re an asshole who doesn’t want to acknowledge anyone who isn’t Christian, you have Christmas and New Year’s within a week of each other. Holidays.
