I have no problem with 'Happy Holidays'. But to be fair...

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka Dr.Vermin) Dec 22 '09, 12:34

The 'War on Christmas' usually refers to things like the banning of nativity scenes in public and the forced removal of Christmas songs from school plays and the like.

I also find stuff like this on the trivial side, though I generally bristle when people push for the elimination of anything [supposedly] on behalf of those who could be offended by them, when really they seem to just be trying to impose their own values on others.

(and no, putting a nativity scene by your house or business isn't imposing your values on others, too)
