10. Apparently, we did
I mean, Bush has surrendered, he is now forced to say "Happy Holidays" at his press conferences . . .

6. I think they miscalculated
Last year it worked out for them; but this year peopel were more ready to respond. It's easy enough to be "pro-Christmas" (there aren't that many who aren't), but when people realize they are being used for a more nakedly political purpose, they aren't as enthusiastic about it.

7. Happy Hollidays is part of social evolution. Boulder (CO) Weekly Column:
--snip
"Merry Christmas" has evolved into "Happy Holidays," for the best possible reason: because it brings us closer together as children of the same Creator walking different paths. And what could be more akin to the "Christmas spirit" that we aspire to at this time of year than that? And further, what could be a better tonic during these troubled times when division along religio-political lines has led to unprecedented human suffering?

The regressionists who lobby for us to revert from "Happy Holidays" to "Merry Christmas" are placing their lust for power and authority over others ahead of the true principles of the faith they purport to be defending: kindness, compassion, understanding, charity and love. Their fear of change, weakness of character and fundamental insecurity cause them to attempt to control, rather than understand and include, others who do not share their exact beliefs.

8. Not with these heating prices
We found a local working family of 6 going without any Christmas gifts/decorations or special meal because they are trying to keep warm. Yeah, there is a real war on Christmas.

12. Don't stop there
I say, anyone who calls it "Valentine's Day" instead of SAINT Valentine's Day is obviously anti-Christian, doncha think?
